About AIDS A program about AIDS and why young people should still care. The AIDS crisis is not over in this country. AIDS-related illnesses are one of the leading causes of death among young women. Statistics suggest that by the end of the decade, more than 80,000 American children will be left motherless as a result of the AIDS crisis.
Generations are at risk.
Often, the painful lessons of the last 15 years of AIDS awareness have failed to affect the behavior of college students who are constantly confronted with decisions regarding alcohol, sexuality and responsible decision-making. Women and children continue to be under-represented in awareness programming, nationally and locally. This unfortunate legacy threatens future generations. There is an urgent need to step up prevention on our campuses for all students. The program will emphasize experiential activity, personal observations, and strategies for reaching this large target group.
