中东和北非地区的艾滋病毒传播和艾滋病发病率正在增加，而该地区获得抗逆转录病毒治疗的机会落后于大多数低收入和中等收入国家。与世界其他地区一样，该流行病日益女性化，男子和妇女在获得适当的艾滋病毒预防和治疗服务方面都面临着独特的障碍，同时也面临一些共同的障碍。本白皮书侧重于中东和北非地区获得艾滋病毒检测、护理和治疗的重要性别层面，包括与污名、宗教和道德、性别权力失衡、工作地位和移徙有关的问题。提出了改善中东和北非地区艾滋病毒预防和治疗的具体文化政策和方案建议。
HIV transmission and occurrence of AIDS in the Middle East and North Africa region (MENA) is increasing, while access to ART in the region lags behind most low to middle-income countries. Like in other parts of the world, there is a growing feminization of the epidemic, and men and women each confront unique barriers to adequate HIV prevention and treatment services, while sharing some common obstacles as well. This paper focuses on important gender dimensions of access to HIV testing, care and treatment in the MENA region, including issues related to stigma, religion and morality, gender power imbalances, work status, and migration. Culturally specific policy and programmatic recommendations for improving HIV prevention and treatment in the MENA region are offered.
