Zambia is one of the most sexually active countries in Africa but considering the fact that more than 50% of the young people do not use condoms is alarming. There are 16.21 million people who live in Zambia, and around 1.2 million are living with HIV. Back in 2015, there were 60,000 new HIV infections and 20,000 AIDS-related deaths. There aren’t many people who are taking unprotected sex seriously especially adolescents which is leading to increased STD rates. In 2015, there were 63% adults on antiretroviral treatment.
