Every hour, around 34 young African women are infected with HIV and in some parts of sub-Saharan Africa, a young woman is five times more likely to be infected with HIV than a young man.

Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron tells the TODAY anchors about her Africa Outreach Project, which works with girls in her home country of South Africa, who are eight times more likely than boys to become HIV-positive. She says “we’ve become complacent” about AIDS and that the disease needs to be eliminated completely.
