Many programs or projects, which address the issue of HIV/AIDS, revolve around young (15-25) or those who are identified as those that are mostly at risk. Now a day am confused about this programs since different NGOs (nationals and internationals) are focusing their activities and programs in the above mentioned groups. For instance, there would be more than three NGOs working with one school in the HIV/AIDS programs in different strategies and objective but having similar goal since mostly those youth whose age is between 15-21 are found in secondary schools. It is obvious that working with the risk group and the young is very important. However, the question is what about the remaining groups of the community such as adults or married ones. If these groups are addressed, using different strategies on HIV/AIDS issues one way or the other way the young could also be addressed. The posed programs in the young married people should continue and address them using different approaches like the in school youth programs.
In my neighbor hood, there are so many young married couples at the same time I see so many problems on their marriage, which is responsible for increasing the spread of HIV/AIDS in the community. These married couples are young and need a mentor in their marriage in RH issues etc however it is impossible for them to get these service easily , since they are married they are no longer in the school, or in the out of school clubs where the RH and HIV/AIDS information disseminated . These young married cupules are youth however, they are not considered as youth in their community. Programs should address the other HIV/AIDS risk groups, which include young married couples.
