Why South Africa? With 5.7 million HIV-infected individuals, South Africa is one of the countries most affected by HIV. About 1,000 new infections occur each day, and approximately 350,000 AIDS-related deaths occur annually. There are approximately 3.8 million children who have lost one or both parents.
Why YouthAIDS? In spite of these staggering statistics, there is hope. Infection rates among young people are declining and programmes such as YouthAIDS are making a real difference. YouthAIDS, an education and prevention programme of PSI, uses media, pop culture, music, theatre, and sports to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS and reach 600 million young people in more than 60 countries with life-saving messages, products, services, and care.
YouthAIDS programme in South Africa is currently working in nine cities across the country. With more than 180 peer educators, the programme aims to create role models for healthy behaviour and influence group norms. Youth peer educators spread the message of responsible sexual behaviour through a variety of venues including debates at schools, parent-child workshops, street campaigns, community centres, transportation hubs, and radio talk shows.
