Incidence of HIV, ages 15-49, female (per 1,000 uninfected female population ages 15-49)

This indicator measures the rate of new HIV infections among women aged 15-49 who were previously uninfected, quantified per 1,000 individuals within the same demographic. By focusing on this specific age group, the metric highlights the susceptibility of young women to HIV, providing critical insights into the effectiveness of prevention strategies and sexual health education. The values derived from this analysis not only illuminate trends in HIV transmission but also reflect the broader social determinants affecting women's health, such as access to healthcare, education, and social stigma. Monitoring this incidence rate over time can help public health officials tailor intervention programs that specifically target at-risk populations, ultimately contributing to more effective management of HIV within communities.
