Informing health decisions and actions
Description
Globally, new HIV infections among young women (aged 15-24 years) were reduced by 25% between 2010 and 2018. This is good news, but of course, it remains unacceptable that 6000 adolescent girls and young women become infected with HIV every week. The sexual and reproductive health and rights of women and young people are still too often denied.
