We are
the Generation
to make AIDS history
We are #GenEndIt.
We know there’s been great change in treatment, education and numbers of transmissions over the past decades, but the struggle is real and we know young people are living the harsh reality of stigma, isolation, bullying, lack of information, education and access to treatment(s) all of which are making life hard and mental health challenges spiral.
Living with HIV and AIDS continues to affect young people world wide. Every week, 4000 adolescent girls and young women aged 15–24 years become infected with HIV globally.*
AIDS-related deaths have been reduced by 69% since the peak in 2004 and by 51% since 2010. This will not change without all of our deliberate actions, plus making sure that our voices are at the tables where decisions are being made for our health and well-being.
