Introduction
HIV aids is a global problem in youth worldwide and in US a huge number of youth
population is infected. Not only the youths , the young adults are infected by this disease in US.
HIV is virus borne disease and the responsible virus for this disease is Human immuno-
deficiency virus. The main reason of HIV infection among the youth is sexual activity among the
student. Almost half of the young US population is infected by the HIV. The report from
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that, in 2014 almost 22% of the US youth
( age group of 13-24 years) that is almost 44000 youth have HIV infections in the US(Johnson et
al., 2014). In case of the youths who are using intravenous injection drugs, it is seen that the
prevalence of infection is much common. In this report the rate of HIV infection in youths in US
is discussed. In addition, the ways in which the rate of infection can be reduced is highlighted.
The main aim of the project, implementation procedure, influencing factor for that project is also
discussed in this report.
