YouthAIDS, implemented by nonprofit Population Services International, is an upbeat global initiative using music, media, fashion and sports, to spread messages of HIV prevention to the world's youth. YouthAIDS promotes abstinence, delayed sexual debut and protected sex among 15 to 24 year olds, the generation most at-risk of infection.
YouthAIDS speaks to millions of youth worldwide through PSI programs in more than 70 countries. In addition, YouthAIDS provides a platform for corporate involvement and works to mobilize and engage corporations and the entertainment industry in HIV/AIDS prevention.
Through corporate partnerships and awareness campaigns, YouthAIDS is able to expand its programs, empower young people and ultimately avert further infections. Ashley Judd has served as the YouthAIDS Global Ambassador since 2002 and Wynonna Judd has been the YouthAIDS U.S Ambassador since 2003.
