UN-Led Alliance Focuses on Youth and AIDS
A United Nations-led alliance has urged young people to change behaviours that increase their risk of contracting AIDS, and called on their elders to provide leadership, education and support.
The group released a report urging communities, leaders and young people to act to stop sex with multiple partners or with older partners, whose prevalence of HIV is statistically higher.
The alliance, which includes UN agencies for children, AIDS, education, health and women, the International Labour Organisation and the World Bank, argues that behaviour is fuelling HIV transmission among young people, particularly young women.
