Key highlights include the inclusion of transgender communities, the urgent need for psychosocial support, and the human rights framework underpinning these guidelines. Emphasizing community consultation, dialogue, and the necessity for multisectoral approaches, it calls for more action to effectively deliver HIV prevention programs tailored to young populations disproportionately affected by HIV.
