The challenges for providing effective HIV prevention program to young adult are pretty similar for women and children, which we discussed in the last week. But there are some differences. Young adults always refer to teenagers, such as college students. Teenagers have high-infected rate of HIV, 10 times than others. And one of the biggest challenges face to young adults is that many teenagers are lack of knowledge about HIV/AIDS. Take Chinese students as an example, many students do not have sex education during high school. They only know the term “HIV”, but they do not know how it transmits and the ways to prevent it. In fact, this situation happens in many poor and developed countries due to the insufficient education. The second challenge is that young adults or teenagers are tending to have sex more frequently than elder adults because teenagers are in puberty. Puberty is the thing teenagers cannot avoid, and it is part of the live. According to Avert.org, it mentions, “teenager years are the time of great change, your body develops and changes during puberty as you become an adult, and these changes often go hand in hand with lots of emotions” (“Being Young And Positive”). So teenagers need to learn how to manage themselves during puberty, and the way correctly using condoms. The third challenge is financial constrain. Many countries do not have enough finance support to promote the HIV prevention programs because those programs are very expensive and required many resources.
