Twice-yearly shots used to treat AIDS could soon be the key to preventing new infections.

This according to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

The data was concluded from a sample of about 5,000 young women and girls in South Africa and Uganda.

Last year, a report by UNICEF revealed that young women and girls are more than twice as likely to contract HIV than young men and boys.

For more, Peter Ndoro spoke to Prof Linda Gail Bekker- Director of the Desmond Tutu HIV centre and national principal investigator of purpose 1 trial.
