Roughly 90% of the world’s pregnant women and children with HIV live in Africa, and, despite notable recent reductions in HIV transmission rates, adolescent girls are still more than twice as likely as boys of the same age to carry the virus. Yet barely a third of young Africans know how to prevent HIV – another reason for urgent and comprehensive sexuality education.
非洲女孩还非常容易感染艾滋病。大约90%的艾滋病孕妇和孩子生活在非洲，而尽管艾滋病传染率在近几年中大幅下降，但青少年女孩携带艾滋病病毒的概率仍比同龄男孩高出一倍多。但只有不到三分之一非洲年轻人明白如何预防艾滋病——这是抓紧实施全面性教育的又一理由。
