Comparing patterns of sexual risk among adolescent and young women in a mixed‐method study in Tanzania: implications for adolescent participation in HIV prevention trials

Abstract

Adolescent women under 18 are at risk of multiple negative SRH outcomes and they underuse preventive services. Their access to new technologies such as vaginal microbicides or pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) may similarly be compromised unless greater effort is made to include them in clinical trial research.
