Around 4,200 adolescent girls and young women aged 15–24 years became infected with HIV every week in 2020. In sub-Saharan Africa, six in seven new HIV infections among adolescents aged 15–19 years are among adolescent girls. Globally, around 5,000 adolescent girls and young women aged 15–24 years become infected with HIV every week. DREAMS was announced on World AIDS Day 2014, and since 2015 has expanded from the original 10 to 16 countries in sub-Saharan Africa: Botswana, Côte d’Ivoire, eSwatini, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, South Sudan, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe and Haiti. The Determined, Resilient, Empowered, AIDS-free, Mentored and Safe (DREAMS) partnership is an ambitious public-private partnership aimed at reducing rates of HIV among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in the highest HIV burden countries.
