While US government-sponsored HIV prevention initiatives have achieved notable successes, challenges remain to serving women effectively. Intimate partner violence hinders women's efforts to decrease their HIV risk behaviors. The global HIV/AIDS epidemic is often viewed as a human rights crisis. An analysis of US HIV prevention strategies based on ecosocial and health and human rights frameworks clarifies women's HIV risk practices and suggests opportunities for progress. These two frameworks help to (1) demonstrate how HIV/AIDS is a clinical manifestation of violence against women, (2) identify safety from violence as a human right necessary for well-being, and (3) suggest ways in which HIV prevention initiatives can more effectively improve women's health and fulfill their basic human rights.
虽然美国政府资助的艾滋病预防倡议取得了显著成功,但在有效服务女性方面仍存在挑战。亲密伴侣暴力阻碍了女性降低感染艾滋病风险行为的努力。全球艾滋病毒/艾滋病疫情常被视为一场人权危机。基于生态社会以及健康和人权框架对美国艾滋病预防策略进行分析,有助于阐明女性感染艾滋病的风险行为,并为取得进展提供机会。这两个框架有助于:(1)说明艾滋病毒/艾滋病是暴力侵害妇女行为的一种临床表现;(2)将免受暴力侵害确定为实现福祉所需的一项人权;(3)提出艾滋病预防倡议能够更有效地改善女性健康并实现其基本人权的方法。
