Summary

In 2004, it was estimated that up to 6,000 young people between the ages of 15 and
24 years were being infected by HIV every day, bringing the total number of young
people living with HIV/AIDS to 10 million . In 2004, the World Health Organisation’s Department of HIV/AIDS and the UK Department for International Development (DfID) supported the Safe Passages to Adulthood programme to develop a joint publication entitled HIV/AIDS prevention and care for especially vulnerable young people: a framework for action. This offers a straightforward guide to priority setting, outlining five core principles underpinning effective HIV/AIDS prevention programming with young people.
