Gender inequality is driving two distinct yet interlinked epidemics among women in India: HIV and AIDS and domestic violence. As domestic violence is increasingly recognized and HIV infection expands, policy and programs do not reflect the interlinked risks and consequences in married women's lives. This article seeks to establish the nexus between HIV and AIDS and domestic violence and identify potential areas for a state-led response. In a health and human rights approach, it assesses women's vulnerability to each epidemic at the individual, societal, and program levels to analyze direct and underlying factors that determine women's risk. Three areas are identified as opportunities for an integrated response: strengthen HIV and domestic violence strategies and address their overlap; mainstream gender; and improve data and research.
艾滋病毒和艾滋病以及家庭暴力。随着家庭暴力日益受到关注且艾滋病毒感染情况不断扩大，政策和项目并未反映出已婚女性生活中相互关联的风险及后果。本文旨在确立艾滋病毒和艾滋病与家庭暴力之间的联系，并找出由国家主导应对的潜在领域。从健康和人权的角度出发，本文在个人、社会和项目层面评估了女性面对这两种流行病的脆弱性，以分析决定女性风险的直接因素和潜在因素。确定了三个可采取综合应对措施的领域：加强艾滋病毒和家庭暴力应对策略并解决二者的重叠问题；将性别观点纳入主流；改善数据和研究。
