AB Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in the
adolescent/young adult population of the United States is a serious,
growing problem. The current HIV risk-reduction strategies for
adolescents have been less than effective in stemming the tide of
infection. This ineffectiveness can be linked to failure of making
developmentally appropriate risk-reduction informational material and
reliance on condom-based interventions, which have an unacceptably high
failure rate. A critical analysis of current models of HIV-risk
reduction should be undertaken to create more developmentally
appropriate and effective methods.
