The woman and a HIV
At preservation of the developed tendencies more and more women and men will be soon infected by a HIV. Such equality is not necessary for women. While this year AIDS marks 25 anniversary, 48 percent of a HIV of the infected population - of the woman, according to the Global report of the United Nations on AIDS.
It about 17,3 million women. This disease is now a principal cause of death rate among men and women at the age from 15 till 59 years.
Because of distribution of AIDS to four countries – in Zambia, Zimbabwe, Kenya and Malawi – life expectancy among women has decreased in comparison with this indicator among men.
60 percent of a HIV of the infected population of the-woman living in Africa
Approximately 90 percent of a HIV of positive women in India are infected by husbands
Thus – even despite epidemic easing in some countries – the risk of infection of young women at the age from 15 till 25 years at least three times (and in some countries in 5-6 times) exceeds risk of infection of men in the same age category.
Causes of illness are biological, cultural and business factors. Epidemic expansion is connected with an inequality of floors, conditions of formation and social and economic position, experts of the World bank confirm.
«Irrespective of the fact how to consider this epidemic, women are vulnerable», – speaks Дебреворк Itch, the Director of the Global program of the World bank for struggle with ViCh/SpIdom.
Young women are especially vulnerable and in is non-comparable большей degrees are subject to risk of infection in many countries, speaks Elizabeth Lul, the head of Campaign of Bank on struggle against AIDS in the countries of Africa.
From the physiological point of view the reproductive system of young women is not completely developed, that promotes easier penetration of a virus into their organism.
In cultural sense intimate communications and marriages between representatives of different generations – between young girls and men more advanced age is the standard and widespread practice. Men more advanced age aspire to enter intimate communication with young women, partly believing, that they with smaller probability are HIV carriers. However number of a HIV infected among мужичин more advanced age above, than among young men, and quite often they are a source of infection of the young wives, speaks Lulas.
As to business factors young women are in not protected position, as a rule, not having education and economic possibilities. They face legal or cultural barriers at realisation of the property rights to the earth and property, maintenance of means of subsistence or even access to public health services, speaks Lulas.
They also quite often become victims of household cruelty and rape, she speaks.
In some cases young women enter intimate communication with men more advanced age for payment of school training or to survive, she speaks.
Such mutual relations with rich patrons are unequal and complicate to young women discussion of questions of safe sex even in own marriage, speaks Lulas.
Besides, she confirms, the World bank supports efforts under the decision of deep problems of gender inequality to win a HIV, as that: carrying out legislative and the economic reforms directed on strengthening of the rights of women in the field of property both reproductive health and support of their rights to formation and means of subsistence.
In some countries there are appropriate measures of a policy which are not realised, or cases when laws against rape are not tried on, and «good laws», providing possibility women to inherit the rights to the earth, also are not put into practice, speaks Lulas.
«Such changes do not occur instantly. I believe, that we have put in pawn a strong basis. However it is necessary to make more many», – speaks Lulas.
