Introduction
Globally, young people aged between 15 and 24 years make up 1.2 billion of the world's population. The ma- jority live in Sub-Saharan Africa and are vulnerable to teenage pregnancies and HIV infection [1]. Unwanted pregnancies and HIV infection continue to be daunting problems for young people, and studies indicate that HIV-infected youth face the greatest dilemmas [2,3]. Great attentions have been given to prevention of teen- age pregnancy in recent times leading to several cam- paigns to prevent teenage pregnancy [4-6]. This is because it has been viewed as a negative phenomenon in modern times because of the attending negative effect on the health of these young teenagers. Despite the es- tablishment of national teenage pregnancy programmes and strategies, [7] teenage birth rates have increased glo- bally [8,9].
