Abstract: Gender inequality is one of the core factors mediating HIV risk. Biological and cultural influences have been found to increase the risk of HIV among women, a topic extensively reviewed in the literature (DeLay, 2004; Quinn and Overbaugh, 2005). The increased heterosexual HIV risk to women derives largely from the high risk behaviors of their male partners (Fig. 6.1).
