Adolescent Star Track Program
The Adolescent "STAR TRACK" Program offers outreach, education and prevention services to youth, young adults, and their communities. Activities include health education programs, peer trainings, teen leadership events, prevention services (individual & group), health promotion campaigns, an HIV prevention hotline, free and anonymous HIV testing services, an interactive teen health website (www.yuhip.org), and community mobilization. STAR TRACK engages young people to take control of their health on their own terms. The program also encourages communities, adults, and teenagers, to discuss sexual health issues since young people are vulnerable to HIV and STIs. For professionals, teachers, and clinicians STAR TRACK offers technical assistance on adolescent specific issues such as identifying risk behaviors, conducting proper adolescent counseling techniques and engaging youth into care.
