Article Synopsis
- Adolescent pregnancy is a big issue around the world and is linked to early marriage and girls leaving school.
- A study in rural Zambia looked at why girls get pregnant early and drop out of school by talking to various people in the community.
- The research found that while many see schooling as important to help girls, there are also beliefs that early marriage and having kids can provide security, making early pregnancy seem like a good choice for some.

Methods: This qualitative study explored women's perspective of their male partner's attitudes towards HIV and ART and how it shapes woman's experience with ART.
