Young people worldwide are emerging as the most at-risk group for HIV infection; with rates increasing most rapidly among young women. While global prevention efforts have been mobilised, two major set of factors are slowing the gains that have been made in HIV/AIDS prevention among youth thus far.
The first surrounds issues of stigma, stereotype, and discrimination that may be contributing to a sense of "complacency, lack of information, and misinformation about HIV/AIDS" (Health Canada, 2003) among youth in Canada.
Secondly, there is a growing recognition from major organizations such as UNESCO and UNICEF that unless youth are given a more significant role in producing relevant messages, prevention programmes are doomed to failure.
TIG Xpress HIV/AIDS draws on the potential of media technologies to undertake HIV/AIDS education based on social justice, transnational
communication and global solidarity between youth.
