SA concern over girls' high HIV rate

Quote:

At least 28% of South African schoolgirls are HIV positive compared with 4% of boys because "sugar daddies" exploit them, the health minister says.

Quote:

He said 94,000 schoolgirls also fell pregnant in 2011, and 77,000 had abortions

Quote:

..some pregnant girls - aged between 10 and 14 years of age - also tested positive for HIV.
