Young women in South Africa are at high risk for HIV infection. The authors present the design and baseline results from HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) 068, a Phase III trial to assess the effect of a conditional cash transfer on HIV acquisition among young South African women. Interventions, like cash transfers, that address structural factors such as schooling and poverty have the potential to reduce HIV risk in young women in South Africa.
