在过去十年中，美国妇女的艾滋病毒感染率和艾滋病病例显著增加。在很大程度上，由于倡导团体的工作和美国国会的行动，在使艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究和服务更符合妇女需求方面取得了一些进展（例如，将妇女纳入临床药物试验和修订疾病控制中心对艾滋病的定义，以包括妇女的典型感染）。然而，在解决预防妇女感染艾滋病毒的需要方面几乎没有取得进展。这篇文章探讨了研究人员如何使用行为方法来预防艾滋病毒，在很大程度上忽视了性别、妇女的社会地位和妇女的角色如何影响性风险行为和采取措施降低感染风险的能力。在指导未来艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防计划的理论中要考虑的其他因素进行了检查。
The rates of HIV infection and AIDS cases among women in the United States have increased significantly in the last decade. Thanks in large part to the work of advocacy groups and to action by the U.S. Congress, there has been some progress in making HIV/AIDS research and services more responsive to women's needs (e.g., including women in clinical drug trials and revising the Centers for Disease Control definition of AIDS to include infections typical in women). However, little progress has been made in addressing the need for prevention of HIV infection among women. This article examines how researchers using behavioral approaches to HIV prevention have largely ignored how gender,1 women's social status, and women's roles affect sexual risk behaviors and the ability to take steps to reduce risk of infection. Additional factors to be considered in theories that guide future HIV/AIDS prevention programs are examined.
