Young people and HIV/AIDS - Situation in South-East Asia - Sri Lanka

Abstract

The publication is a compilation by WHO's Regional Office for South-East Asia of factsheets on Young people and HIV/AIDS in all 11 Member countries of the Region. It has been prepared by undertaking a review of available published national data obtained from national demographic health surveys, reproductive health surveys, behavioural surveys and large studies wherever available. It is a report of Young people's vulnerability to HIV and STIs and programmes and initiatives being undertaken in Member countries to halt the spread of HIV/AIDS. The information in the factsheets will be useful for programme managers, policy-makers and researchers, and help in advocating for investing in young people as part of the HIV/AIDS programme.
