DYK only 12 states and DC require HIV education to be medically accurate?

Instead of discriminatory laws rooted in ignorance, young people impacted by and living with HIV deserve:

✅ to live free from oppression
✅ the right to inclusive and honest education
✅ the right to quality and accessible treatment and care
✅ the right to live without criminalization and stigma

April 10th is National Youth HIV/AIDS Awareness Day 📢

This is a day to urge policymakers and the public to take action regarding the impact of HIV and AIDS on young people and highlight the HIV prevention, treatment, and care campaigns of young people in the US.

Did you know...
🔺 Young people aged 13-24 accounted for 20% of all new HIV diagnoses in the US in 2020
🔺 Only 6% of high school students were ever tested for HIV in 2021
🔺 Many existing HIV services in the USA do not meet the needs of at-risk adolescents and young adults

Make sure to follow Advocates for Youth to stay up to date and get involved!



If you would like to be tested or learn about youth s*xual health, visit us at 33 Chestnut Street. All are welcome!

📢 The CDC reports that nearly half of young people living with HIV are unaware of their status.

National Youth HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NYHAAD) matters more than ever this year. Funding is being cut for HIV prevention, research, and programs that are supposed to support young people. That means fewer resources, fewer services, and more barriers to getting what you need to stay safe, healthy, and informed. Funding cuts are hitting hardest at programs that focus on q***r youth, youth of color, and youth who are already most impacted.

This year, NYHAAD is a call to action. It's a chance to speak up, organize and remind the world that young people are NOT disposable. Youth deserve access, care, and the power to shape the future of the HIV response.

Follow Advocates for Youth to learn more and get involved! If you want to get involved locally, reach out to us at 585-262-4330 or stop by 33 Chestnut St.
