    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Epidemiology
    • Gender Studies

    Background:

    • An estimated 8-10 million people globally are infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), the virus responsible for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
    • A significant proportion of individuals living with HIV reside in developing countries, where the epidemic's impact is particularly pronounced.
    • Women in developing nations experience a disproportionately severe impact from HIV/AIDS due to a confluence of social, economic, and biological factors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the recent literature on the impact of HIV/AIDS on women in developing countries.
    • To identify the key reasons contributing to the heightened vulnerability and burden of HIV/AIDS among women.
    • To propose recommendations for improved prevention, research, and support strategies.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of recent studies on HIV/AIDS and its impact on women in developing countries.

    Main Results:

    • Women face challenges due to stereotypes, leading to delayed diagnosis, stigmatization, and human rights violations.
    • Gender-related factors increase women's risk of HIV exposure.
    • Women bear greater psychological and social burdens, including issues related to pregnancy, motherhood, and loss of security.
    • Low socioeconomic status and limited power hinder women's ability to implement prevention measures.

    Conclusions:

    • Enhanced prevention programs targeting women, including older women and sex workers, are essential.
    • Increased HIV/AIDS research focusing on women is necessary.
    • Improving women's access to healthcare and economic opportunities is critical for mitigating the epidemic's impact.
