| description |
The literature shows that divorced,
separated, and widowed individuals in Africa are at
significantly increased risk for HIV. Using nationally
representative data from 13 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa,
this paper confirms that formerly married individuals are at
significantly higher risk for HIV. The study goes further by
examining individuals who have remarried. The results show
that remarried individuals form a large portion of the
population - usually larger than the divorced, separated, or
widowed - and that they also have higher than average HIV
prevalence. This large number of high-risk remarried
individuals is an important source of vulnerability and
further infection that needs to be acknowledged and taken
into account in prevention strategies. |
