"There are many reasons women and adolescent girls are at increased risk of HIV infection. According to UNICEF, these include early and forced marriage, gender-based violence, unequal access to information (including sexual health knowledge) as well as a lack of negotiating power and economic autonomy.
Because of unequal power dynamics with men, women also face barriers in the negotiation of safer sex. Women often have less information about HIV so can’t take preventative measures."
