The Telegraph - "Young women in Africa are up to 14 times more likely to contract HIV than boys of the same age. Paul Nuki reports from Uganda on the sexual exploitation driving a new wave of infection.
(...) The data are startling. Despite major declines in the number of new HIV infections globally, the HIV epidemic among women between 15-24 in several sub-Saharan African countries remains uncontrolled, with two thirds of all new infections across the region occurring in young women and girls – an estimated 280,000 new infections annually."
