Women and AIDS in Developing Countries

Part of the book series: AIDS Prevention and Mental Health ((APMH))

Abstract

Increasing numbers of women worldwide are being infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. In the last year alone, 1 1/2 million women around the world were infected, and the number of HIV-positive women is expected to increase in coming years [World Health Organization (WHO), 1994a]. The WHO projects that by the year 2000,13 million women will have been infected with HIV, and 4 million will have died of AIDS, since the pandemic began (WHO, 1993a). Until recently, women were “missing persons in the AIDS epidemic” (Rosser, 1991, p. 231), partly because of the initial definition of AIDS as a gay male disease and partly because of a tendency to focus on women as “vectors” of transmission, with emphasis on their roles as mothers or commercial sex workers (de Bruyn, 1992; Carovano, 1991; Hankins & Handley, 1992; Nichols, 1990; Preble, 1990). As the incidence of HIV has increased among women from all segments of the population in all parts of the world, attention has finally turned to understanding the factors that put women at risk and working to decrease the number being infected.
