Abstract
Although adolescents currently compose fewer than 1% of AIDS cases nationally, they represent an expanding and pivotal population. This article is written for those who currently provide health care for adolescents and for those who will do so in the future. Much of what is known about AIDS in adolescents will be reviewed. Epidemiology, specific risk groups and behavior as well as legal, ethical, educational, and preventive issues unique to adolescents are discussed. In addition, some recommendations and techniques for interviewing teenagers are suggested.
