HIV/AIDS is a preventable and treatable disease. Yet today, 6,000 young people will be infected with HIV, most of them young women. Moreover, over half of the 5 million people infected each year are under 25 years old. Poverty, unemployment, a lack of education, sexual violence, and gender inequality increase the vulnerability of young people to HIV infection.
