Studies done in Kenya and Zambia estimate that among 15 to 19 year-old girls who are sexually active, being married increased their chances of contracting HIV over 75%, and that the protection that marriage offers was not apparent(Clark, 2004). the same study further asserts that husbands of married girls are about three times more likely to be HIV-positive than are boyfriends of single girls. #EndChildMarriageNow #AIDS2016 #IAC2016
