Why: UNAIDS has made empowering young people to protect themselves from
HIV as a
priority area. It calls on countries to implement a comprehensive set of
programmes that put young people's leadership at the centre of national
responses, provide rights-based sexual and reproductive health education
and
services and empower young people to prevent sexual and other
transmission
of HIV infection among their peers. This can be achieved by ensuring
access
to HIV testing and prevention efforts with and for young people in the
context of sexuality education. And by ensuring enabling legal
environments,
education and employment opportunities to reduce vulnerability to HIV.
Young people have shown that they can be change agents in the prevention
revolution.
