GNP+ Global Network of People Living with HIV
 
 
 
Young people living with HIV

GNP+ is strengthening the position of youth within the networks through a programme which is currently being set up. The Youth Programme aims to address the gaps in the HIV response, one being that in the highly active youth movement, youth living with HIV are not represented, and in the HIV positive community youth are not represented.

GNP+ will work to support and broaden networking and collaboration amongst stakeholders to facilitate an enabling environment within GNP+ and the regional people living with HIV networks for youth living with HIV. This initiative is driven by youth living with HIV through an interim reference group of youth living with HIV and GNP+.

An estimated 33.2 million people are living with HIV, of whom 5.4 million are young people. 40% of new infections are amongst 15-24 year olds, most of them female. However, in the global response to HIV there is a massive gap in the support and the meaningful and engaged participation of youth living with HIV (YPLHIV).

HIV Young Leaders Fund to Launch in 2010 PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 08 January 2010

Networks for young people living with HIV announced the HIV Young Leaders Fund: a new partnership effort between youth networks and donors. The HIV Young Leaders Fund is an innovative funding mechanism driven by a broad range of organizations, including international and country-level youth-led networks. The mission of the HIV Young Leaders Fund is to enable and develop new leadership in the AIDS response among young people most-affected by HIV.

“Peer-based programming is highly effective yet chronically underfunded and youth-led programs often lack support for core resources,” said Liping Mian, World AIDS Campaign Youth Campaign Coordinator and HIV Young Leaders Fund Interim Steering Committee member.
