14.0 CONCLUSION
Young girls and women are especially vulnerable to HIV, this is due to the biological or economic vulnerability of girls and woman in general limit their possibilities to defend themselves against mad preasure,sometimes even forcefully or to resort to other them sexual survival strategies for themselves, their children and families
Poverty which is still widespread in the country reduces the possibilities of large segment of the population to have access to correct and continue information and education about sexual health matters and medicals services for treatment of sexually transmitted infections but also poverty limit the economic safety nets to provide supports to individuals families and communities which had hit by the impact of the epidemic
so many things need to be done to fight against HIV/AIDS wishing MUSHAC all the best in their struggle against the battle of HIV
