dc.description.abstractAdolescents in Sub-Saharan Africa face many hurdles,including balancing the expectations of the traditional,often conservative, norms against the increasing exposure, through the mass media, to modern ideals. The sexual and reproductive health of adolescents is one area in which this struggle is often apparent, and many young people engage in sexual activities with little or no knowledge about how to protect themselves against the risks of infection and unwanted pregnancy. An estimated 6.9 percent of women and 2.2 percent of men aged 15–24 in the region were living with HIV at the end of 2004. Furthermore, about one in 10 young women have had a premarital birth by age 20. In Uganda, evidence from the AIDS Information Centre shows that, among 15–24-year-olds who were first-time testers, HIV seroprevalence was 3% among men and 10% among women in 2002. Furthermore, in 2000–2001, 39% of recent births to Ugandan adolescents were either mistimed or unwanted.en_US
