Why women are more likely to be infected with AIDS Six conditions make women more likely to be infected with AIDS
The concern is that in areas where there is a serious preference for boys over girls, they are much more likely to be abandoned after suffering from this disease than men. Feminists have been fighting for decades to restore women's voice, but women still face many gender discrimination in areas such as employment, educational opportunities, and spouse choice. In many underdeveloped areas, there is still a common practice of parents arranging marriages for their daughters. Women do not have the right to choose their preferred spouse, and the choice of whom they marry can only be determined by the male elders in the family. Therefore, in the case of strong Masculism, women cannot persuade their spouses to use condoms and can take any measures to protect themselves from AIDS infection.
Family: Marriage is not a protective umbrella for women, and losing a wife's chastity not only cannot be accepted by her husband, but in some places it is also considered a crime. It is not surprising that her husband and other women engage in infidelity and prostitution. Therefore, even if the wife is loyal to her husband, there is no guarantee that they will not be infected with AIDS from their amorous husband. In fact, this is also one of the most common reasons for women to become infected with AIDS. In addition, women, as carriers of fetuses and caregivers of children, are crucial for stabilizing society and families. In many places, girls have to drop out of school to take care of their families infected with AIDS at home. In addition to taking care of the patients and children at home, mothers have to shoulder the responsibility of supporting the family and become the main labor force of the family. Therefore, if a family loses its mother, not only does the family's labor force decrease, but also the child cannot be taken care of, which is a serious blow to the family.
Prostitution: No matter what the motivation of prostitution is, prostitution is a high-risk behavior prone to AIDS. In some countries, many women who are in urgent need of money to raise their children are also AIDS widows. In order to meet the requirements of guests, they have no right to remind guests to wear condoms. Once they are infected with AIDS, they may transmit the virus to the guests, and the guests bring HIV back home, causing a vicious circle. These women are not only at the bottom of society, but also face legal negation. Many times, in order to conceal their profession and evade legal sanctions, even if they get sick, they dare not seek medical treatment in formal medical institutions.
Drug use: Usually, we imagine typical drug users as men, but in reality, many injecting drug users are women. Most female drug addicts rely on Prostitution to get drugs, and they are also easy to get AIDS through sharing needles. In addition, men who use needles to take drugs are also easy to bring AIDS virus to their wives at home.
