QUESTIONS,
PLAINLY ANSWERED.
The stuff young people actually ask us — about privacy, your body, your rights, and how Aunty Mimi works. Tap any question to open it.
Yes — completely free, always. Aunty Mimi is funded by The Youth Platform and partner donors so you never pay a coin to chat, find a clinic, or get information. Your only cost is the data or airtime you'd normally use online.
Yes. On the website we don't ask for your name, phone or email — just start chatting. Nothing is tied to your identity, and you can wipe your whole conversation any time with the Erase button. On WhatsApp we only ever see a scrambled ID, never your real number, unless you choose to type it.
Absolutely. There's no sign-up and no record on your phone unless you keep it. Triple-tap the logo for stealth mode, which disguises the screen as a calculator if someone walks in. In many countries, young people can also access HIV testing, contraception and counselling confidentially — Mimi will tell you the rules where you are.
PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is a daily pill that stops you from getting HIV before you're ever exposed. It's safe, very effective when taken correctly, and free at government clinics in many countries. It's a smart option if you're sexually active, have a partner living with HIV, or just want extra protection. Ask Mimi and we'll talk through whether it fits your life.
Anywhere on our clinic map — every pin is a free, youth-friendly facility, and the ones tagged green are free at the point of care. Testing is quick, confidential, and often same-day. Tell Mimi your town and we'll find the nearest one and give you directions.
No — and we'll always be honest about that. Mimi is an AI trained on international clinical guidelines, brilliant at clear answers and pointing you to the right place. But for diagnosis, treatment or anything urgent, we'll route you to a real clinic or a trained human counsellor.
Many African languages — including Swahili, French, Hausa, Yoruba, Zulu, Amharic, Bemba and Nyanja. Just write the way you normally talk — Mimi detects your language automatically and replies in it, slang and all.
Type “I need to talk to someone” any time and Mimi will connect you with a trained counsellor. For a crisis, someone takes over fast. And for emergencies, the crisis hotlines at the bottom of any page are set for your country.
