Abstract
Adolescent females in Zimbabwe who are married, not attending school and/or are unemployed, are at heightened risk for HIV infection. Interventions that improve their educational and employment opportunities, strengthen school-based prevention services, foster more equitable gender attitudes, and make marriage safer by, for example, promoting knowledge of partners' serostatus before marriage, may reduce their risk. Future research priorities are proposed.
