While substantive progress has been made, some gaps still remain in key areas of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Reproductive cancers are frequent causes of mortality for women, and breast cancer is the most common cancer. Incidence of certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs), like syphilis, is rising. While overall HIV prevalence is low, it is increasing among young people and some key populations.
