The authors present the results from HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) 068, a Phase III trial to assess the effect that a monthly cash transfer that is conditional on school attendance has on HIV acquisition among young women in South Africa. Results indicate that school attendance significantly reduces the risk of HIV acquisition, regardless of a conditional cash transfer. This emphasizes the importance of keeping girls in school to reduce their risk of HIV infection
