This UNICEF report, which contains the first comprehensive data on HIV infections in young people, finds that while HIV prevalence has declined slightly among youth, 2500 young people are still infected daily. Furthermore, young women are at a disproportionate risk of contracting HIV, due to biological vulnerability, social inequality, and exclusion. The report urges communities and governments to revitalize prevention efforts for young people.
