WHAT IS HPV?

We are so excited that you visited our site and hope that you find important information that can be of some benefit to you. HIV/AIDS and STD'S are on the rise among adolescents, and it is extremely important that we educate our youth on how to take charge of their health.

We have spent several years mobilizing communities and eliminating health disparities among at risk teens. We need your help in spreading the word that "education is better than a cure for all diseases." Project Youthlink's goal is to reach teens by any means necessary and we are proud to announce that our commitment is stronger than ever in reaching that goal.

HIV/AID's or sexually transmitted diseases don't discriminate, it does not matter how old you are, how smart you are, and definitely not how tough you are. The epidemic is infecting youth at a rate higher than any other age group in the country, (Check the fact sheet for more information).

We are hitting the streets and informing youth on how to protect themselves against sexually transmitted diseases and equipping them with the necessary information to stay healthy. I encourage you to get involved with your local community based organization and do something to reclaim our youth from these horrible epidemics.

Again, we hope this site was informative and look forward to you joining us in the struggle to reclaim our youth!

Sincerely,

Project Youthlink
