The rate of HIV infection among young people worldwide is rapidly increasing. Of particular concern are the dramatic increases in HIV infection among young women, who now make up 60% of the 15- to 24- year olds living with HIV/AIDS. Globally, young women are 1.6 times more likely to be living with HIV/AIDS than young men.
