使用性别作为分析框架的艾滋病毒预防往往侧重于性别不平等对妇女艾滋病毒感染易感性的不同影响。在这种情况下，男性常常被视为攻击者，而女性则被视为艾滋病毒感染的被动受害者。近年来，越来越多的研究人员和公共卫生官员呼吁人们关注这一范式的陷阱，指出性别不平等对女性和男性都造成伤害。改变性别规范的第一步是了解当前存在哪些规范。考虑到这一点，本文的目的是整合和分析文献，这些文献研究了导致斯威士兰男性持续感染艾滋病毒的结构性因素，斯威士兰是艾滋病毒患病率最高的国家。还阐明了当前与该主题相关的文献中的空白。研究结果强调需要在斯威士兰和其他地方进行研究，调查性别规范对女性和男性福祉的影响。
HIV prevention that uses gender as an analytical framework tends to focus on the ways in which gender inequalities differentially affect women's susceptibility to HIV infection. Men, in this context, are often conceptualized as aggressors, as opposed to women, who are seen as passive victims of HIV infection. In recent years, a growing number of researchers and public health officials have called attention to the pitfalls of this paradigm, pointing out that gender inequities harm both women and men. The first step towards transforming gender norms is to understand what norms currently exist. With this in mind, the aim of this paper is to consolidate and analyse literature that examines structural factors that contribute to the continued HIV infection of men in Swaziland, the country with the highest prevalence of HIV. Gaps in current literature related to this topic are also elucidated. Findings highlight the need for research to be conducted in Swaziland and elsewhere that investigates the effects of gender norms on the wellbeing of both women and men.
