Teens' risk of AIDS, unintended pregnancies examined.


 Approximately 1.6 billion of the world's population are 10-24 years old. About 15 million women aged 15-19 years give birth annually, more than 10% of all births worldwide. The proportion of teen births to unwed mothers has risen by 50% in the US since 1980, and by almost 70% in Kenya during the 1980s. Approximately 2 million adolescent women in developing countries have illegal, unsafe abortions each year, with at least 10% of all abortions worldwide occurring among women ages 15-19. Since the start of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, at least 12 million young people have been infected with HIV. In fact, about half of all HIV infections worldwide have occurred in young people under age 25. HIV is spreading rapidly among young women aged 15-24 such that in many countries women account for 40% of all new HIV infections. Several new reports from the Population Reference Bureau, the US Census Bureau, and the International Center for Research on Women offer data on how the world's youth are exposed to unintended pregnancies, unsafe abortions, and sexually transmitted diseases. Maternal and infant mortality among adolescent mothers and their children, coercion to have sex, and the growing proportion of school-aged youth worldwide enrolled in secondary schools are discussed.
