Almost half of girls aged 15-19 years have one child or have been pregnant. The highest mortality ratio is in the 12-14 age group. At 14 years old 33% of Mozambican girls are sexually active and vulnerable to HIV. Usually, they have no power to refuse unprotected sex. Survey data related to health providers in AYFS is analyzed.
