博茨瓦纳目前是非洲艾滋病毒感染发病率最高的国家之一，尽管艾滋病在 1985 年才首次被公开承认。此时，该地区的其他国家，如马拉维、赞比亚和乌干达，已经显示出艾滋病毒流行程度的迹象。艾滋病毒在博茨瓦纳的迅速传播归因于三个主要因素：妇女在社会中的地位，特别是她们在谈判性关系方面缺乏权力：对生育的文化态度；和社会迁移模式。这三个因素以及其他可能更次要的因素是在博茨瓦纳快速社会经济发展和文化环境的特定背景下形成和调节的。这导致了博茨瓦纳特有的一系列因素，导致该国目前的高血清流行率。版权所有 (C) 1966 由 Elsevier Science Ltd 出版。
Botswana currently has one of the highest recorded incidences of HIV infection in Africa although AIDS was only first publicly recognized in 1985. By this time other countries in the region such as Malawi, Zambia and Uganda were already showing signs of epidemic levels of HIV. The rapid transmission of HIV in Botswana has been due to three main factors; the position of women in society, particularly their lack of power in negotiating sexual relationships: cultural attitudes to fertility; and social migration patterns. These three factors along with other, arguably more minor, ones have been shaped and mediated within the specific context of Botswana's rapid socio-economic development and cultural milieu. This has resulted in a constellation of factors unique to Botswana which accounts for the current high seroprevalence rate in the country. Copyright (C) 1966 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
