The global impact of HIV/AIDS on young people.
SIECUS Report; Murphy, Gillian; 2002.
This article provides an overview of the impact of HIV/AIDS on young people around the world, generally defined as those between the ages of 10 and 24. It uses a variety of sources and studies. Readers are cautioned that global data sets and studies specific to young people are in short supply; therefore, country- or community-specific information is often used to illustrate key points.
Because of its focus on young people, this article does not discuss mother-to-child transmission (MTCT); however, MTCT remains a major route of transmission in some parts of the world and contributes to the number of young people living with HIV or at increased risk of infection.
