The impact of gender on HIV/AIDS is an important dimension in understanding the evolution of the epidemic. How have gender inequality and discrimination against women affected the course of the HIV epidemic? This paper outlines the biological, social and cultural determinants that put women and adolescent girls at greater risk of HIV infection than men. Violence against women or the threat of violence often increases women's vulnerability to HIV/AIDS. An analysis of the impact of gender on HIV/AIDS demonstrates the importance of integrating gender into HIV programming and finding ways to strengthen women by implementing policies and programs that increase their access to education and information. Women's empowerment is vital to reversing the epidemic.
性别对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的影响是理解该流行病演变的一个重要方面。性别不平等和对妇女的歧视如何影响了艾滋病毒的流行进程？本文概述了使妇女和少女比男性更容易感染艾滋病毒的生物学、社会和文化决定因素。暴力侵害妇女行为或暴力威胁往往会增加妇女感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的易感性。对性别对艾滋病毒/艾滋病影响的分析表明，将性别观点纳入艾滋病毒规划以及通过实施增加妇女受教育和获取信息机会的政策和方案来寻找增强妇女力量的方法具有重要意义。妇女赋权对于扭转这一流行病态势至关重要。
