HIV Prevention and Care for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Youths: “Best Practices” from Existing Programs and Policies

  • Chapter

Abstract

A public health crisis in the United States is affecting youths, including gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) youths. At least half of the newly infected cases of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection are under the age of 25. More than 126,000 young people have developed acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in their twenties (CDC, 2001a). The rate of HIV infection and high-risk behaviors among youth must be lowered. This can only be accomplished with a coordinated effort at community, state, and national levels to provide prevention and a continuum of care, from counseling, testing, and referral (CTRS) to therapeutic counseling and behavioral change prevention programs. The focus for public health has been keeping HIV-negative individuals negative. Now HIV-positive youth are also being targeted (Futterman et al., 2001).
