Session Description
Despite the differences in cultural context and affected sub-populations, the HIV epidemics amongst young adults in both Sub-Saharan African and the United States are driven by similar factors, including a lack of information, increased risk of HIV in vulnerable youth populations, structural barriers, and services that do not fit unique adolescents needs. Creating a cross-continental youth dialogue can help identify and understand these barriers and chart a better path forward.
