Young Men and HIV - Culture, Poverty and Sexual Risk
Many factors drive the international AIDS pandemic.
They include risk behaviors, such as sex with more
than one partner and without a condom, and social
conditions, such as poverty, that discourage people
from protecting themselves. But one of the strongest
influences on how quickly the epidemic spreads is
the sexual behavior and attitudes of men. This report
explains the critical role that young men play in
the global AIDS pandemic. It highlights how they have
been largely ignored in HIV interventions to date
and explains how this exclusion could have devastating
results in the long-term. It investigates the challenges
young men face and looks at the most effective ways
of addressing their needs.
