Overview

Young people in India are particularly vulnerable to HIV infection, with current prevalence among 15-24 years old estimated to be 0.47 percent. This compares with adult prevalence of 0.36 percent (NACO, 2007). Prevention of HIV, through safer-sex behaviors among the young, continues to be the most effective long-term strategy in reducing HIV infection.
