Penta Youth

Arriving at the International Workshop on Pediatrics & HIV 2024, we felt a mix of nerves and excitement, knowing we were about to be surrounded by experts who spend their careers understanding and fighting the virus we live with every day. But as Young Reporters, we were determined to make sure we take what we can understand to share with other young people who need this knowledge. 

Penta youth in collaboration with IAS, have organised a webinar taking place on Thursday, 16 December at 12pm CET (GMT+1) on the theme Invest in our future: How to walk the talk of ethical Youth engagement in the HIV response.

The objectives of the webinar are to showcase best practices for youth participation within the HIV sector, to highlight the current gaps in proactive responses to youth participation models and insight,
