Show full summary
  • Young people: Would affirm youth rights to education, prevention, treatment, and culturally competent care, and would urge protections from discrimination and stigma.
  • Schools and educators: Would call for up-to-date, inclusive, and medically accurate sex education that includes information on pre-exposure prophylaxis, consistent with the National HIV/AIDS Strategy.
  • Health programs and providers: Would urge youth-friendly access to PrEP, post-exposure prophylaxis, and antiretroviral therapy potentially without parental consent and would support increased funding for CDC adolescent and HIV divisions, the Ryan White program, Medicaid, and AIDS Drug Assistance programs.
  • Law and policy: Would support removing scientifically inaccurate HIV criminalization laws, prioritize youth leadership in prevention and care, and recognize that restrictions on abortion, birth control, and transgender health care hinder nonstigmatizing prevention and confidential services.
