AIDS leading cause of death for African teenagers - UNICEF

The United Nations` agency for children says AIDS is now the leading cause of death for African teenagers and the second most common killer for adolescents across the globe.

At a conference in South Africa on Friday, UNICEF said despite gains made among adults and babies with HIV, the number of 10-to-19-year-olds dying from AIDS-related diseases has tripled since 2000.

The chief of UNICEF`s HIV and AIDS division, Craig McClure, said children born with the virus were dying in their teens because there was not enough treatment aimed at adolescents.

Mani Djelassem, a 17-year-old activist who was born HIV-positive, said it was essential to educate teenagers about the disease and the medication that has been vital to saving her own life.
