How we talk about unintended pregnancy matters. Listening to youth matters. <\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Young people in the United States often don\u2019t have access to comprehensive sex education and are disproportionately affected by both HIV and unintended pregnancy. Stigma, fear, shame, and lack of information all contribute to challenges in accessing the resources they need.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Addressing HIV and unintended pregnancy among young people requires that they:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">have access to the information and tools they need to make healthy decisions,<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">know their HIV status,<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">reduce their risk for infection and unintended pregnancy, and<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">get treatment and stay in care if they have HIV.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Youth with HIV are the least likely of any age group to be aware of their infection and have a suppressed viral load. While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guttmacher.org\/state-policy\/explore\/sex-and-hiv-education\">39 states and the District of Columbia mandate sex education and\/or HIV education<\/a>,\u00a0few require program content to be medically accurate. In 2018, youth aged 13\u201324 made up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/hiv\/group\/age\/youth\/index.html\">21% of the 37,832 new HIV diagnoses<\/a> in the U.S. and dependent areas.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In 2011, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guttmacher.org\/fact-sheet\/unintended-pregnancy-united-states\">the highest unintended pregnancy rate was among women aged 20\u201324<\/a>. However, traditional estimates understate the risk of unintended pregnancy among adolescents because these estimates typically include all women, whether they are sexually active or not. When rates are recalculated to include only those who are sexually active, <strong>young women aged 15\u201319 have the highest unintended pregnancy rate of any age group<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.providecare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cdc-hiv-nyhaad-2022-clinicians-1080x1080-1.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-6710\" src=\"https:\/\/www.providecare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cdc-hiv-nyhaad-2022-clinicians-1080x1080-1-300x300.png\" alt=\"April 10th is National Youth HIV Awareness Day\" width=\"325\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.providecare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cdc-hiv-nyhaad-2022-clinicians-1080x1080-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.providecare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cdc-hiv-nyhaad-2022-clinicians-1080x1080-1-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.providecare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cdc-hiv-nyhaad-2022-clinicians-1080x1080-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.providecare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cdc-hiv-nyhaad-2022-clinicians-1080x1080-1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.providecare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cdc-hiv-nyhaad-2022-clinicians-1080x1080-1-24x24.png 24w, https:\/\/www.providecare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cdc-hiv-nyhaad-2022-clinicians-1080x1080-1-48x48.png 48w, https:\/\/www.providecare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cdc-hiv-nyhaad-2022-clinicians-1080x1080-1-96x96.png 96w, https:\/\/www.providecare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cdc-hiv-nyhaad-2022-clinicians-1080x1080-1.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Youth activists are asking us to change the conversation to address these disparities.

Stigma, fear, and shame dissipate when we provide medically accurate information and resources, open the conversation to include all aspects of sexual health, and provide tools like PrEP, PEP, safer sex supplies, birth control, and abortion care.
