Description:

Young people are particularly vulnerable to HIV: 15-24 year olds account for 50% of new cases. Five to six thousand youths become infected every day, most of them in developing countries.

This report provides evidence-based recommendations for policy-makers, programme managers and researchers to guide efforts towards meeting the UN goals on HIV/AIDS and young people. These goals aim to decrease prevalence and vulnerability; and to increase access to information, skills and services.
