Abstract: Women's HIV has been a significant issue for decades. While economic integration has increased, little research has investigated the effects of globalization on women's HIV rate. This study argues that trade and FDI have differently affected women's HIV: While larger volume of trade has had the effect of decreasing female labor participation, thus increasing women's HIV rate, greater FDI inflows have worked to increase female labor participation, thereby decreasing women's HIV rate according to pooled time‐series cross‐sectional data of 89 developing countries. These findings suggest that globalization has both negative and positive effects on women's economic status and their health and that more research should be conducted into how economic integration affects marginalized populations such as children or people with low incomes.
