This book focuses on the issues encountered by children and young
people who are living with HIV/AIDS. It examines their lived
experiences associated with HIV/AIDS, and studies groups of
children and youngsters from around the globe. Connecting empirical
information with real-life situations, the book brings together
results from empirical research that relates to these children and
young people. Its chapters can be used as evidence for health care
providers to implement socially and culturally appropriate services
to assist individuals and groups of children and young people who
are living with HIV/AIDS in many societies. Many of these young
people are from the most marginalized and vulnerable groups; and
many have been orphaned by the death of their HIV-positive parents.
Marginalized young people such as refugees, migrants and street
children are most at risk due to the use of illicit drugs, their
exposure to unprotected sex (in exchange for food, money and
protection), and stigma associated with their marginalized lives.
The impact that HIV/AIDS has on the opportunities for these young
people to be able to lead healthy adult lives is considerable. This
book gives a voice to these children and young people and advances
our understanding of their lived experiences and needs.
