Tóm tắt : | Young people (10-24 years) are at the centre of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in terms of transmission, impact, vulnerability and potential for change. WHO is working to strengthen and accelerate country-level health sector action in relation to young people (YP) and HIV/AIDS, and thereby enable a range of actors to maximize their contributions to an expanded response for achieving global goals. This includes a focus on the 4 "S" strategies comprising Strategic information; Services and supplies; Supportive policy environment, and Strengthening action in other sectors. The publication is a report of a regional consultation held to review and obtain feedback on the draft Regional Strategy on HIV and young people; to develop and agree on a common framework for implementing activities related to HIV among Young People; to orient participants to the use of the monitoring and evaluation guide for national HIV/AIDS prevention programmes for young people and share evidence-based technical updates on Adolescent Health and Development (AHD) and HIV/Young People. The report provides an overview of regional scenarios on HIV/AIDS and young people, country experiences on provision of Youth Friendly Health Services (YFHS) and experiences in Bangladesh and India on the development of national standards and orientation programme package for health-care providers. It also gives a brief description on programme development tool, and Mapping Adolescent Programming and Measurement (MAPM), and provides an understanding on its use to review selected national HIV/AIDS plans to improve adolescent health development. A brief description on the draft regional strategic framework on control of HIV in young people is also provided in addition to description of the plan for future actions at country level, during the next six months as a follow-up of the consultation and areas for which technical assistance or capacity development will be required.
