Uganda continues to present proof that the epidemic does yield to human intervention. Recent HIV infections appear to be on the decline in several parts of the country—as shown by the steady drop in HIV prevalence among 15–19-year-old pregnant women. Trends in behavioural indicators are in line with this apparent decline in HIV incidence. Condom use by single women aged 15–24 almost doubled between 1995 and 2000/2001, and more women in that age group delayed sexual intercourse or abstained entirely.
