SamenvattingIn recent years, scientists have noted high rates of HIV infection among young women in southern Africa that are well above those of young men of similar age. The UNAIDS estimates that in parts of Botswana, infection rates among girls aged 15-19 years are up to nine times those of boys. In South Africa young women in the 15-24 age bracket, have an HIV infection rate about four times that of young men. This article discusses the role of intergenerational sexual relationships in young women’s greater vulnerability to HIV infection.
