- W2204751134 abstract "human costs cannot all be accounted for by the prevalence rate alone because some may have contracted the disease in their teens but will become aware of it only when they have reached the symptomatic stages. The long incubation period of the virus suggests that the epidemic is going to stay for sometime despite interventions aimed at attacking the virus.2 Neither Botswana nor Swaziland presents any evidence of incipient decline in HIV prevalence among young pregnant women aged 15 to 24. Because the spread is predominantly among the sexually active and also because this is the most economically active age group, the epidemic has an impact on the society as a whole, demographically, socially, and economically. Certainly young women in Africa are at greater risk of HIV infection compared with their male counterparts. In Uganda, for example, HIV infection among women aged 13 to 19 years was found 20 times higher than for young men of the same age group (Aggleton & Rivers, 1999). Most young girls become sexually active at a very young age and most have sex with older men. This contributes to the unequal status of women in sexual relationships. There is also a widespread acceptance of multiple sex partners (Anarfi & Awusabo-Asare, 1993) and of sex outside marriage, in parts of Africa, Southern Africa in particular. As Ingstad and Saugestad (1987) noted, it is not only culturally acceptable to have multiple partners, it is also socially acceptable to have children out of wedlock (see also, Stegling, 2000). The pattern of having multiple sexual partners, however, is generally more common among men (O’reilly et al., 1999). For those men employed in hazardous mining industries, sexual risk-taking is seen as an expression of their masculinity as has been reported among South African mine workers (Campbell, 1997). Sociocultural prescriptions and power imbalances in sexual relationships could invariably limit women’s ability to refuse sex or even negotiate safer sex even if their partners are known to be infected with HIV or STD. This inability to negotiate often results in multiple jeopardies, namely, unwanted pregnancy, widowhood, HIV, and STD, to name a few. In most African countries, transmission of HIV occurs mainly through heterosexual contact, beginning in adolescent years and peaking before age 25 (Tarantola, Lamptey, & Moodie, 1999).
