Interventions for High-Risk Youth

  • Chapter
Handbook of HIV Prevention

Part of the book series: Aids Prevention and Mental Health ((APMH))

Abstract

Currently, almost 3,000 adolescents have been diagnosed with AIDS and more than 16,000 youth have been identified as seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).1 This represents an almost fourfold increase in the last 5 years in the number of adolescent AIDS cases. However, the latter number reflects seropositive youth in only 26 states; most states do not have HIV reporting laws. Given the long incubation period of the HIV virus, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 50% of infections worldwide and 25% of HIV infections in the United States are acquired during adolescence.2 Therefore, the actual number of seropositive youth is likely to be substantially higher.
