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