Women Children
and the HIV /AIDS epidemc
All around the world the AIDS epidemic is changing and threatening
new groups. Specially endangered are housewives, young spouses and
girlfriends, as they are their newborn babies.
Most of the HIV+ women has been infected at their own homes, in
their own beds, by their husbands.
Cultural and economic reasons deprive most of the women of all
cultures and conditions to protect themselves and their babies from
getting infected and condemned to suffering and death.
Lack of freedom, education and access to prevention is extending
the HIV/AIDS epidemic dramatically.
The difficulty to reach this groups increases the risk of new increases
on the infection rates, specially in those countries where women
cannot make their own choices.
Is absolutely necessary that governments and society mobilize themselves
and change and increase their prevention policies.Is time to change
the targets. Is time to transfer the responsibility of the much
needed prevention to the male. Only encouraging male responsibility
and behavioral changes in this group, will prevents the epidemic
to spread rapidly to women and newborn babies around the world .
