Leave no Youth behind
aidsfocus.ch - terre des hommes schweiz (tdhs) enables young people to get involved in preventing and dealing with HIV/AIDS. Experiences in the field have proved that HIV-positive young people need understanding and openness within their families, youth-orientated healthcare services and, if necessary, psychological support in order to exercise personal responsibility for their health. Using the example of their partner organisation, Million Memory Project Zimbabwe (MMPZ), tdhs demonstrates the components which are important for support aimed at young people.
