Abstract

Adolescence, especially early adolescence (10–14years) represents an important opportunity to assist children infected with HIV in developing positive behaviours that will safeguard their health and the health of others. In particular, by reaching such children before they become sexually active, programmes that build awareness of sexual and reproductive health issues can play a valuable role in preventing further spread of the disease, reducing the risk of reinfection and drug resistance and avoiding the chance of infection with another STI.
