Objective: To identify risk factors for HIV infection among young women aged 15-24 years reporting one lifetime partner in South Africa. Design: In 2003, we conducted a nationally representative household survey of sexual behaviour and HIV testing among 11 904 young people aged 15-24 years in South Africa. This analysis focuses on the subset of sexually experienced young women with only one reported lifetime sex partner (n=1708).
