Sexual and reproductive health among adolescent girls and young women in Mombasa, Kenya
This secondary data analysis of a cross-sectional survey conducted in Mombasa, Kenya characterises sexual and reproductive health (SRH) indicators among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) engaged in casual and transactional sexual relationships as well as sex work. It describes the association between awareness of local HIV programmes and SRH services uptake for AGYW engaged in sex work. Thirty-eight per cent of the participants reported a history of pregnancy. Among participants not trying to get pregnant, 27% stated that they were not currently using any form of contraception. Of the participants who had an abortion, 59% were completed under unsafe conditions.
