HIV prevention strategy for young people in Pakistan

The National HIV Prevention Strategy for Young People in Pakistan lays out the situation of young people in Pakistan, an understanding of their vulnerabilities and risk to HIV and a strategic framework targeted to stem the current trend of the epidemic and to protect young people from potential risk behaviour. The strategy will help HIV programmes to reassess their current approach and revise their strategies so that, in addition to ensuring the large population of young people have information to protect themselves from HIV, the especially vulnerable and most-at-risk young people have targeted interventions with relevant information, skills and services.
