Treatment Coverage Among HIV-Positive Youth (15–24)
Access to treatment remains a major challenge for young people living with HIV. Despite the proven benefits of antiretroviral therapy (ART), most HIV-positive youth are not yet on treatment.
This infographic breaks down the numbers from NAIIS 2018 and explains why treatment access must improve:

1. Only 28.6% are on ART – these youth can live long, healthy lives and prevent HIV transmission when adherent to treatment.
2. A worrying 71.4% are not on ART – this treatment gap leaves the majority vulnerable to illness and fuels further spread of HIV.
