Youth RISE video for World AIDS Day

As we remember the harms we have experienced globally by the HIV epidemic over the past 30 years, it is important that we do not forget the impact this epidemic has had on young people who use drugs.  If we are to reach our collective goal of zero new infections, it is crucial that our young people have full access to evidence based HIV prevention services, that their rights are protected and fulfilled, and we remove punitive sanctions that impede the HIV response.

To mark World AIDS Day, Youth RISE has released a short animation video that highlights the vulnerability of young people who use drugs to HIV and solutions for mitigating the spread of HIV among these youth.
