title: [Men and women unequal in the face of AIDS].
abstract: In most societies, the statuses of men and women differ and are marked by unequal relationships. The spread of the human immunodeficiency virus feeds on this situation and also contributes to strengthening it. Not all women are exposed to the risk of HIV contamination to the same degree: the addition of biological, socio-economic, cultural and legal factors makes them more or less vulnerable.
