| This package is the fourth of a series of repackaged products aimed to serve as a vehicle for alerting our users to a wealth of highly valuable educational resources that exist in the field of HIV/AIDS in the context of adolescent reproductive and sexual health. The purpose of the UNESCO Regional Clearing House’s repackaging programme is to bring to the attention of the users valuable information which would never have been read simply because they seem not to be easily accessible. Very few probably know where they are located; or if they can be accessed, they come in either highly technical or unreadable language or understandably, in the national language.

| For the first time there are some signs that the incidence of HIV may be stabilizing in sub-Saharan Africa. New infections in 2000 totalled an estimated 3.8 million, compared with 4 million in 1999. However, this may change if rates go up in countries where they are still relatively low. The total number of Africans living with HIV or AIDS is now 25.3 million. In eight African countries, at least 15% of adults are infected. Here AIDS will claim the lives of around a third of today’s 15-year-olds. Download this publication |

| To assess the effects of HIV/AIDS and sexual health education on young peoples sexual behaviour, a comprehensive literature review was commissioned by the Department of Policy, Strategy, and Research of UNAIDS, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS. Sixty-eight reports were reviewed. Of 53 studies that evaluated specific interventions, 27 reported that HIV/AIDS and sexual health education neither increased nor decreased sexual activity and attendant rates of pregnancy and STDs. Twenty-two reported that HIV and/or sexual health education either delayed the onset of sexual activity, reduced the number of sexual partners, or reduced unplanned pregnancy and STD rates.
