 Young Men
and HIV Prevention: A Toolkit for Action
While there has been increased recognition of the role that non-equitable
gender norms and behaviors play in the spread of HIV/AIDS; young men are
still rarely explicitly addressed in HIV/AIDS prevention policies and
programs. In many cases, this is due to a lack of knowledge on how to
appropriately and effectively integrate them into prevention work as well as
lingering doubts and skepticism regarding the possibility of young men
changing their behaviors. This toolkit serves to reinforce the benefits of
working with young men and provides conceptual and practical information on
how to design, implement and evaluate HIV/AIDS prevention activities which
incorporate a gender perspective and engage young men and relevant
stakeholders. Specific topics include how to:
-Carry out a needs assessment to understand the influences on young men’s
attitudes and behaviors and possible entry-points for engaging them in
HIV/AIDS prevention.
-Facilitate group educational activities to promote critical reflections
about gender norms and skills-building related to HIV/AIDS prevention.
-Design and implement campaigns to create a favorable environment for young
men assume more gender-equitable behaviors.
-Organize health services to be more attractive to young men and more
sensitive and responsive to their needs
-Carry out advocacy to influence support and decision-making on work with
young men.
-Monitor and evaluate activities to assess and improve impact.
