Hem de protegir els nens, els adolescents i les seves famílies.
El VIH i la SIDA afecten amb més força els nens i els joves d’arreu del món. Més de la meitat de les noves infeccions de VIH són en persones menors de 25 anys. Milions de nens creixen sense pares o en cases on un dels familiars està malalt o moribund, sense accés a l’educació o als serveis mèdics, i amb un mínim de nutrició. Per a les noies, aquesta situació augmenta a causa de factors com el tràfic de blanques, la prostitució forçada, les violacions, la circumcisió femenina i els casaments prematurs. Tots aquest factors exposen a les noies al risc de contraure el VIH.

Els nens afectats pel VIH i la SIDA són part de la solució a l’epidèmia del VIH i la SIDA, amb les seves famílies i comunitats, poden tenir un paper molt important per tal de mitigar el seu impacte. Una acció massiva de comunitats, organitzacions i governs és totalment necessària per tal de reduir la diferència que hi ha entre el que s’ha fet i el que necessita fer-se per tal de protegir els nens amb VIH i SIDA.
