| Vulnerability and Resilience: Gender & HIV/AIDS in Latin America & the Caribbean |
TITLE: Vulnerability and Resilience: Gender and HIV/AIDS in Latin America and
the Caribbean
AUTHOR: G. Rao Gupta
DATE: 2002
PUBLISHER:
This paper reviews the most recent literature on HIV/AIDS, gender and sexuality
in Latin America and the Caribbean and identifies the various ways in which
gender influences the effectiveness of HIV/AIDS prevention and access to
services offering treatment, care and support. Under the rubric of gender, this
paper also considers issues as they affect adolescent boys and men.
Recommendations for programme and policy interventions that can help to reduce
gender-related vulnerabilities to HIV/AIDS draw upon analysis of the vast number
of sociocultural and economic factors contributing to women's and men's
vulnerability to HIV/AIDS in the region.

I am Gracia Violeta Ross Quiroga, a 28-year-old woman from Bolivia living
with HIV. It was in March 2000, when I had an infection that would not heal,
