AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS:
Adolescents and Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection: The
Role of the Pediatrician in Prevention and Intervention
Half of all new human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections in the United States occur among young people between the ages of 13 and 24. Sexual transmission accounts for most cases of HIV during adolescence. Pediatricians can play an important role in educating adolescents about HIV prevention, transmission, and testing, with an emphasis on risk reduction, and in advocating for the special needs of adolescents for access to information about HIV.
