At the peak ages of infection—30-39 years, two in five urbanwomen are infected with HIV compared with less than one in five rural women. Figure 14.4 shows thatfor men, prevalence peaks later in rural areas than in urban areas (30-34 in urban areas <strong>and</strong> 40-44 in ruralareas).238 | Prevalence of HIV <strong>and</strong> Syphilis
