Rape is a widespread but underreported problem among women. In this article I explore the complexities surrounding the fine line between consensual and nonconsensual sexual intercourse, by studying a rape through which a young woman was infected with HIV. I provide an analysis of how to understand and interpret this episode by applying a gender perspective based on patriarchy-namely, women's submissive position in heterosexual situations compared with men-and the concept of agency, that is, the individual's own decision-making ability, own choices, and different courses of action available, to outline the frame of action available to the informant. The inclusion of agency and a gender perspective offers new dimensions on how to understand and give meaning to narratives that are seldom told.
强奸是女性群体中一个普遍存在但却少有人报案的问题。在本文中，我通过研究一名年轻女性因强奸感染艾滋病毒的案例，探讨了围绕双方自愿与非自愿性行为之间微妙界限的复杂性。我运用基于父权制的性别视角——即在异性关系中女性相对于男性的顺从地位——以及能动性的概念，即个人的自主决策能力、自身选择和可行的不同行动方案，来分析如何理解和解读这一事件，以此勾勒出提供信息者可采取的行动框架。纳入能动性和性别视角为理解那些鲜有讲述的经历以及赋予其意义提供了新的维度。
