dc.description.abstractIn Sub-Saharan Africa, the majority of new HIV infections are sexually transmitted and among the population infected with AIDS, women outnumber men.Limited access to education and to economic resources characterizes the lives not only of women but also of young people of both sexes. Young people’s limited access to resources gravely undermines their health and healthcare–seeking behavior. Most young people are aware of the dangers of HIV/AIDS but continue to be involved in sexual behaviors that place them at high risk of contracting the disease.2 There is also a growing body of evidence confirming that in many countries, most young people do not routinely seek appropriate sexual and reproductive health information and care. The overburdened and under-financed public health and education systems that are in place are often unable or reluctant to provide such services—let alone high-quality services—to young people.en_US
