Like Romeo and Juliet, Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) and ending HIV are inseparable topics: wherever one goes, the other will follow.

Thus, advances in this matter need liberated, revolutionary, open-minds; it needs youth. With the physiological scientific scope of this fight and the noxious inequality in health care providence, it seems that a particular group of youth must be on the frontlines: medical students.
