Today, around the world, there are 5 million young men and women living with HIV. Opportunity in Crisis: Preventing HIV from early adolescence to young adulthood examines the state of the HIV epidemic among young people, highlighting the challenges they face and presenting solutions informed by evidence of what works with different age groups and in different epidemic settings. The report outlines key steps towards building a continuum of HIV prevention that can help keep children HIV-free as they develop into young adults.
Opportunity in Crisis was jointly developed and produced by UNICEF, UNAIDS, UNESCO, UNFPA, ILO, WHO and The World Bank, and the launch in Johannesburg is timed to coincide with the the UN General Assembly High-Level Meeting on AIDS.
