AIDS, women, and poverty  

Definición

  • AIDS disproportionately affects poor women, worldwide.1 Ironically, its identification in 1981 in both men and women in the United States did not preclude it from being initially understood as a “gay disease.” As a result, poor women were dying in many parts of the world long before their deaths were officially recognized as AIDS related. Between 1987 and 1991, heterosexual transmission of the disease became better understood in the United States, but the case definition for AIDS was still male-specific.
