One youth infected every 14 seconds worldwide


HIV/AIDS has become a "disease of young people," as half of the estimated five million new HIV infections worldwide each year occur among people ages 15 to 24, according to a United Nations Population Fund report released on Wednesday, London's Guardian reports. UNFPA's 2003 State of the World's Population report, titled "Making One Billion Count: Investing in Adolescents' Health and Rights," found that a young person between the ages of 15 and 24 becomes infected with HIV every 14 seconds, equivalent to about 6,000 new cases every day. With nearly half of the world's 6.3 billion people under age 25, if the HIV/AIDS pandemic is left unchecked, it could significantly slow the growth of the world's population, according to the report.

The world's population is expected to rise to 8.9 billion people by 2050; however, that number could be cut to about seven billion if no steps are taken to curb the epidemic, the Guardian reports (Bowcott, Guardian, 10/9). In addition, HIV/AIDS disproportionately affects women -- 67% of HIV-positive young people in sub-Saharan Africa and 62% in South Asia are women. The disease is spreading fastest in sub-Saharan Africa, where 8.6 million young people are estimated to be HIV-positive, followed by South Asia, where an estimated 1.1 million young people are HIV-positive.

For individual interest we have to work for them. Who are they?-Children! Because they will be future father and mother.
