AIDS action: youth

In every country, there is great debate about how much young people should know about sex, if and when they should be sexually active, and whether condoms and other contraceptives should be available to them. But, whatever the debates, the facts remain: young people are increasingly at risk. There is an urgent need to enable young people to protect themselves against HIV, other STDs and unwanted pregnancy, and experience safe and healthy sexual development. This edition of AIDS Action includes a special supplement on peer education published with the World Health Organization.
