Translated, the poster says: "Refuse to have sexual relationships with older men."
HIV infection prevalence in sub-Saharan Africa accounts for almost two-thirds of HIV infections amongst the 15-24 age group globally, and of those, 75% of the infected are women and girls, reports Modern Ghana.

Transactional sex relationships are defined by the exchange of goods or money for sexual services and typically occur between a girl in her teens or 20s and a man 5-20 years older.
Extensive studies and research have been conducted into the link between sex work, poverty and HIV/AIDS distribution, but little is understood on the psychological strategies employed for transactional sex to occur, the extent to which these relationships are socially permissible or encouraged, and how often they occur.
