" You saw all the DVD specials in health class and caught a Lifetime rerun about it once, but you probably don&amp;#039;t think it&amp;#039;s something you need to worry about. But the reality is, HIV affects 2.1 million people under the age of 19 worldwide, so it&amp;#039;s time to start talking about it again. According to a recent study for the M.A.C AIDS fund, teens actually know way less about the sexually transmitted disease than they should\u2014in fact, 33% of teens don&amp;#039;t even know HIV isan STD!
