Lack of Sexual Knowledge Blamed for HIV/AIDS Among Latin American Youths
July 22, 2008 In a statement issued Sunday, an AIDS expert with the UN Population Fund said sexual ignorance is to blame for the spread of HIV among Latin American youths. "The adult world has not been able to recognize the sexual culture of the youths," said Raquel Child. She called for more effective prevention measures and for stronger school-based anti-AIDS programs. Child plans to join some 20,000 other international specialists in Mexico City at the 17th International Conference on AIDS beginning Aug. 3.
