"Abstain or Use Your Brain"
 On March 10th, marking the first annual National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, Advocates for Youth launched part one of a two part national education campaign focusing on young women of color actively avoiding and/or reducing risk for HIV.
In honor of National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, Advocates also released two new issue briefs addressing the disproportionate effect of HIV on women of color, specifically young Latina and African American women.
