Women are increasingly at risk for AIDS. At the root of this risk is women's relative lack of control over their bodies and their lives. Those women with least control, generally poor women of color, are at greatest risk in both developed and developing countries. To date, AIDS prevention programs have ignored most women, focusing almost exclusively on women in the sex industry and, more recently, prenatal women. We urgently need prevention programs for women that view women as more than "mothers and whores" and recognize that AIDS poses a real risk to many of us; programs that are sensitive to the complex realities of women's lives and offer realistic alternatives that will allow women to protect themselves from HIV infection.
女性感染艾滋病的风险日益增加。这种风险的根源在于女性对自己的身体和生活相对缺乏控制权。那些控制权最少的女性，通常是贫困的有色人种女性，在发达国家和发展中国家都面临着最大的风险。迄今为止，艾滋病预防项目忽视了大多数女性，几乎只关注性产业中的女性，以及最近的孕期女性。我们迫切需要针对女性的预防项目，这些项目不应将女性仅仅视为“母亲和妓女”，而应认识到艾滋病对我们许多人构成了真正的风险；这些项目应能敏锐地意识到女性生活的复杂现实，并提供切实可行的选择，使女性能够保护自己免受艾滋病毒感染。
