This series of report cards aims to increase and improve the programmatic, policy and funding actions taken on HIV prevention for girls and young women.
The report cards summarise the current situation of HIV prevention strategies and services and contain an analysis of five key components that influence HIV prevention, namely:

1. Legal provision
2. Policy provision
3. Availability of services
4. Accessibility of services
5. Participation and rights

The cards build on global policy commitments, particularly those outlined in the Political Declaration on HIV/AIDS from the 2 June 2006 High-Level Meeting, to follow up on the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on AIDS (UNGASS).

Cameroon
HIV and AIDS continues to remain a problem in Cameroon, particularly for young women and girls.

The most vulnerable groups are sex workers, truck drivers, mobile populations and military personnel.

Young people (15-29) account for one third of
those living with HIV and AIDS. Prevalence rates are higher among women than men.

Sex work is a problem that continues to be overlooked by the authorities and, therefore, largely fails to be incorporated into policy directed at the response to HIV and AIDS. This is all the more pertinent as sex workers are disproportionately affected.
