Mobile platforms and social media technology |
“…awareness can be created using short videos on how HIV self-testing can be done and this will be sent to different social media platform including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp and so on.

| “To start any movement, a short and effective hashtag like ‘#shaku-test’ could be used, which can be unconsciously picked up by the average Nigerian youth. It can be made more effective by using funny memes and tagging Nigerian celebs that are inclined to advocacy.” (No. O020) |
