HIV/AIDS and Young People: the way forward

Young people remain at the centre of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in terms of rates of infection, vulnerability, impact, and potential for change. They have grown up in a world changed by AIDS but many still lack comprehensive and correct knowledge about how to prevent HIV infection. This situation persists even though the world has agreed that young people have the human right to education, information and services that could protect them from harm.
HIV/AIDS has been a very threatening issue among young people and their future, in the bid to address HIV/AIDS among young people different methodology has been employed by planers, policy makers, etc. IEC development has been one of the best methods identified to address HIV/AIDS among young people. But many will wonder how effective has this method been among young people?
Most of the IEC materials targeting young people have sometimes been unfriendly and have little or not yielded the intended result. Recently as a trainee counseling psychology I have discovered that young people like their freedom, want to exploit, and refuse or hate to be ordered around.
Bearing this nature in mind, most of the IEC Materials produced for young people have fall short of expectation, as they have been viewed from young people perspective as very authoritative (e.g. Do this, don’t do this, and stop this)
I have recently developed a Concept of HIV/AIDS JINGLE targeting young people. That has been tested as been friendly and has the capacity to yield intended results.
Presently, I don’t have the financial power to produce this jingle, hear me! I’M NOT ASKING FOR FUND! I’m willing to give this Concept to any Developmental Agency, Partner and Organization or Individuals to produce but most link me as the developer of the idea.
My name is ALFRED IBULU JR, a native of Kalibiama, Bonny Local Government area in Rivers State of Nigeria . A level 200 student of the University of Port Harcourt studying Counseling Psychology, Presently the Executive Director of a Youth Lead Response to fight against HIV/AIDS called RYLO in Port Harcourt and the Assistant Secretary General of the National Youth Network on HIV/AIDS Rivers State Chapter.
Please feel free to resend this message or contact me if you’re interested.
