Talking Buddies

Our ongoing campaign, Talking Buddies, uses creative avatar-based videos to share knowledge, spark conversations, and break stigma around HIV, sexual health, mental health, and harm reduction. These videos are produced and shared in multiple languages, including Urdu, Hindi, Arabic, Punjabi, and English, so they can reach diverse communities in culturally relevant and accessible ways.

Each episode covers topics that matter most to our community: HIV prevention and treatment (PrEP, PEP, and U=U), safer substance use, Chemsex awareness, LGBTQIA+ inclusion, gender identity, and the importance of mental health. The series also highlights personal stories and peer-led perspectives to build trust and encourage dialogue.

By combining creativity with lived experience, Talking Buddies helps increase awareness, reduce stigma, and make complex information easier to understand. Community members can watch, share, and discuss these videos on social media platforms, WhatsApp, and our website, ensuring the campaign reaches people where they are most active.
