Uganda (2007): Cross Generational Sex among girls aged 15-19 in secondary schools in Central Uganda. Round One.

Cross generational sex is the practice of older men having sexual relationships with girls who are younger by 10 years or more. In Uganda, this is termed as the "sugar daddy" phenomenon. CGS has been identified as one of the drivers of the HIV epidemic especially among younger girls (15-19 years) who have higher HIV prevalence rates (2.6%) compared to their male peers (0.3%). Cross infection from older men to younger girls is considered one of the key causes of this disparity. To determine the magnitude of CGS and identify drivers or inhibitors of CGS, PSI Uganda conducted a survey among girls aged 15-19 in selected secondary schools in Central Uganda. This study was designed to provide evidence for social marketing decision-making.
