The 41-year-old launched The Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project (CTAOP) in 2007 in a bid to help raise awareness and to prevent the viruses spreading.
On a video posted on her Instagram account she said: "I go back to South Africa. I speak to young children who are infected and I speak to young children who I know are not going to make it. And I just think to myself this is a virus, it's 100 per cent preventable, why is this happening?
"We have become complacent in how far we have come in the fight against HIV and AIDs . And what we have forgotten is that we are not close to being done.
"Young people should care about this because young people are the ones who are being hit the hardest. HIV and Aids is the number one killer of adolescent kids in Africa. It's the number two killer of adolescent kids between the ages of 10 and 19 globally.
"Our youth should not be dying at those kind of numbers at that rate."
