INTRODUCTION11.8 MILLION YOUNG PEOPLE (AGED 15-24)LIVING WITH HIV/AIDS
There is a way to halt the spread of HIV/AIDS. We must focus on youn
people. More than half of those newly infected with HIV today ar
between 15 and 24 years old.
Yet the needs of the worlds 1 billion young people are routine
disregarded when strategies on HIV/AIDS are drafted, policies made an
budgets allocated. This is especially tragic as young people are more like
than adults to adopt and maintain
safe behaviours.
This report contains important new
data about why young people are key to
defeating the global HIV/AIDS epidemic,
including results from more than 60 new
national surveys. It reaffirms that we
must accord top priority to making
investments in the well-being of young
people and to engaging them in the
fight against HIV/AIDS.

Global success in combating HIV/AID
be measured by its impact on our ch
and young people. Are they getting
information they need to protect the
from HIV? Are girls being empowere
take charge of their sexuality? Are inf
safe from the disease, and are childre
orphaned by AIDS being raised in lo
supportive environments?
These are the hard questions we nee
be asking. These are the yardsticks
for measuring our leaders. We canno
another generation be devastated by
