Right to health of adolescents 2016, para. 104

Paragraph
Paragraph text
There is an alarming lack of HIV-related harm reduction services designed for adolescents who inject drugs, as well as multiple barriers to accessing such services, including age restrictions in law, and absence of data on injecting drug use among children and young people in most countries. Technical guidelines on HIV prevention, treatment care and support for young people who inject drugs have been developed, and should form the basis of States' efforts in this regard.
