Leaders from around the world are All In to end the AIDS epidemic among adolescents
UNAIDS, UNICEF, UNFPA, WHO, PEPFAR, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, the MTV Staying Alive Foundation and youth movements represented by PACT and Y+ join President Uhuru Kenyatta to launch All In, a new platform for action against the adolescent AIDS epidemic.
All In for adolescents
Adolescents are being left behind in the global AIDS response. HIV is the number one contributor to adolescent mortality in sub-Saharan African and number two globally. Adolescents often lack access to proven, life-saving services, such as HIV treatment. To address this situation, a meeting was held in Geneva, Switzerland, from 3 to 5 December to design a strategy to address the challenges that adolescents face.
World leaders unite towards ending the AIDS epidemic among adolescents
Global leaders have committed to take action towards ending the AIDS epidemic among adolescents. At a meeting during the 69th session of the United Nations General Assembly, co-hosted by UNICEF, UNAIDS and the Governments of Brazil and Kenya, representatives from countries across six regions came together to join a growing movement to advance the response to HIV among adolescents.
