Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) are at the forefront of the HIV epidemic. Due to a host of interpersonal and social issues, they are among the most vulnerable populations when it comes to acquiring HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. This pre-conference workshop will: explore avenues for addressing the needs of AGYW; take a focused look at the needs of key populations within the broader AGYW population; and discuss concerns and needs of this vulnerable population. Pre-conference participants will hear from AGYW experts and have an opportunity to share their questions, concerns, and best practices alongside leading organizations working with AGYW through interactive activities and open dialogue.
