New Survey of Young Adults Uncovers Low Levels of Accurate Knowledge About HIV Transmission

Nov 27, 2019 | Kim Rodgers

Merck and Prevention Access Campaign launched Owning HIV: Young Adults and the Fight Ahead, a new campaign featuring results from a first-of-its-kind survey to better understand beliefs and perceptions about HIV among young adults in the U.S. Although young people now account for a majority of new HIV diagnoses, the survey findings show a jarring trend of general confusion and insufficient knowledge of HIV and its transmission, along with the existence of high-risk sexual practices, poor disease management, and stigmatizing behaviors among young adults.

View detailed survey findings to more information about the campaign.
