This report explores policy initiatives, priorities, and plans of action recommended to policymakers with respect to a commitment to education for youth on prevention of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Young people with AIDS/HIV infection, can be offered compassion, hope, and support. Uninfected adolescents must be provided with accurate information about AIDS/HIV and with skills to make healthy decisions in order to prevent HIV infection. This report is both a resource and a challenge, directed to local communities, to create a national campaign on adolescents, AIDS, and HIV. The information in the report is intended to help program planners, educators, and policymakers develop an effective community response to the HIV epidemic. The report is divided into 6 sections: (1) identifying and naming an epidemic; (2) adolescents, AIDS, and HIV; (3) goals of HIV prevention; (4) information for HIV prevention; (5) delivering the message; and (6) HIV education: a shared community responsibility. Forty references and 68 organizational resources are listed. (LL)
