SEXUAL HEALTH AND THE RIGHTS OF YOUNG ADULTS

More than 10,000 young people ages 13-24 become HIV-positive every year in the United States. There are clear, proven paths to curbing new infections among young people: education, health services, and peer-based social support to those most at risk. But these programs do not yet exist in the U.S. at the scale required to make a difference. Advocacy is needed. That’s why every year, EJAF invests more than $500,000 to help young people campaign for health policies and health services that are relevant to their needs and to assist national advocacy groups to push for better health services that cater to young people.
