Bill > HRes331

This resolution supports the goals of "National Youth HIV/AIDS Awareness Day" by acknowledging the significant impact of HIV on young people, particularly those aged 13-24, and calling for comprehensive action to address the epidemic. The resolution highlights that youth, especially African-American gay and bisexual men, are disproportionately affected, with 20 percent of new HIV diagnoses occurring in this age group and 56 percent of young people unaware of their HIV status. It encourages state and local governments to recognize the day and supports young people's rights to education, prevention, treatment, and care without discrimination. The resolution advocates for youth-friendly healthcare services, including access to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and voluntary testing, supports removing scientifically inaccurate HIV laws, and calls for increased funding for HIV prevention and support programs. Additionally, it recommends a comprehensive strategy to reduce stigma, prioritize youth leadership, and address legislative efforts that may restrict young people's access to healthcare and HIV-related services, with the ultimate goal of creating a generation free from HIV stigma and improving health outcomes for young people.
