\u201cnational youth hiv aids awareness day is important to me since close to 25% of new infections are between the ages of 13-24,\u201d said daniel driffin, co-founder of thrive ss, a georgia based organization that works to stop hiv stigma in the south. \u201ci learned my hiv status at 22, and with the advancements of treatment as prevention, we can significantly decrease other young people from becoming positive.\u201d<\/p>\n

daniel also recently spoke at the democratic national convention, the first positive speaker in 12 years, and addressed how hiv disproportionately affects black and latino gay and bisexual men.<\/p>\n

in five new hiv infections occur in people ages 13 to 24, making youth activism imperative in the fight for an aids-free generation. on national youth hiv &aids awareness day, young people will ask their peers and policymakers to sign the national youth hiv & aids awareness day bill of rights that calls for the right to live free from oppression, the rights to education, prevention, treatment and care, and the right to live without criminalization, discrimination and stigma.<\/p>\n
