Accelerate interventions to address multiple partners
New data based on a survey conducted between June 2008 and March 2009 in South Africa underscores the need to accelerate targeted interventions to discourage multiple partners and intergenerational sex to reduce the number of new HIV infections. The study which was carried out by the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) with about 21,000 individuals shows that the number of youth using condoms has increased, with 87% percent of males and 73% of females reporting condom use at last sex.
