Today, young people in many developed countries, including the U.S. have seen people live symptom-free for years with an HIV-positive diagnosis. As a result, many are not particularly worried about HIV and AIDS. Rates of youth infection are skyrocketing; the UN estimates as many as half of all new infections occur in young people aged...
