What are various ways through which youth can be motivated to protect themselves from HIV infection?
I need answers beyond preaching abstinence, being faithful and constant and consistent usage of condoms

We need more education in schools etc.
I think HIV+ people should visit schools and advise students on how their life has been impacted by HIV. I have been HIV+ for 5 years and when I was at school, there wasn't much talk of HIV.
Being HIV+ isn't a nice walk in the park - I have dealt with discrimination, I have a possible death sentence looming over my head, I take meds every single day and I will for the rest of my life, HIV is a major contraceptive because I found that guys ran when I told them I was positive, etc etc.

Watching someone die from AIDS is a sure-fire motivator.
