title: [Women, the first targets of AIDS].
abstract: The specificity of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) with regard to women was first noted some fifteen years ago. The preconception is that the disease mainly affects women of African origin, whereas the reality is much more complex. To contain the pandemic and detect the disease at the earliest stage, it is necessary to carry out prevention campaigns aimed specifically at women, to include them in studies and to generalise the use of the female condom.
