April 10 is National Youth AIDS and HIV Awareness Day. The event, created in 2013, focuses on the impact AIDS and HIV has on youth in the United States. On average, 20 percent of HIV diagnoses in the country are people between 13 and 24 years old.
Every year in April, Schools are looked on to educate students about health safety. The CDC recommends schools teach students about HIV/AIDS as well as other STDs. One of the easiest health safety tips that is often over-looked is washing hands regularly.
