**6. Conclusions**

Adolescents, and in particular the HIV-positive adolescents, are fragile individuals that require sustained psycho-emotional support and that feel the burden of the disease in a special way. At that age, critical transitions are happening which are doubled by the fact that they have to understand the medical problems that come from the seropositive status for the rest of their life and the importance of a perfect adherence and compliance to a medication that should never be interrupted.

The social aspects from the developing or low-income countries add doubles and complicate the existence of ALWH. Therefore, WHO, the governments, and the decision-makers of every county should create mechanisms and special organizations for this particular category of HIV-infected patients. Even though WHO created these dedicated departments for ALHIV, in the future, this side of medical assistance should also be developed all over the world and provide complete material and human resources.
