This report explores how vulnerability to HIV/AIDS applies to women in the reproductive age range living in the slum areas of Delhi and Hyderabad. The paper is based on a qualitative study of AIDS awareness levels conducted during the summer of 2006. It offers insightful narratives from a sample of 32 women, providing an in depth view of their vulnerability to HIV/AIDS due to their precarious socioeconomic conditions and low AIDS awareness. The women cited lack of education, low empowerment in expressing and accessing information related to sexual matters, and poverty as key factors to vulnerability.
本报告探讨了生活在德里和海得拉巴贫民窟地区的育龄妇女感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的易感性情况。该论文基于2006年夏季进行的一项关于艾滋病认知水平的定性研究。它提供了来自32名女性样本的深刻叙述，深入展现了她们因不稳定的社会经济状况和较低的艾滋病认知而感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的易感性。这些女性指出，缺乏教育、在表达和获取与性相关信息方面的能力低下以及贫困是导致易感性的关键因素。
