Sub-Saharan Africa has the lion’s share of HIV infections and related deaths. These countries are turning greater attention on issues of youth – those born with the infection, and those who may be acquiring it through sex. Kenya is working on youth education and also becoming a leader in the prophylactic use of anti-retroviral drugs for those most at risk.
