Wednesday, April 02, 2003Helene Gayle, director of HIV, TB and Reproductive Health for the Gates Foundation, said women were at greater risk of HIV infection than men. Given the low availability of female condoms, it was important to find other way that women can protect themselves, she said. "The imperative to find something that women can use to protect themselves from HIV is clear and urgent. "The only technology we have is a male-controlled technology - a condom." Is that true? That women are at the greater risk of HIV infection? I still don’t see this as often in women as I do other sexually transmitted diseases - say gonorrhea or chlamydia. I couldn’t find any reliable statistics (i.e. not from activist groups) about the sex distribution, though. Anyone who does have that information, I’d appreciate it if you could pass it along. posted by Sydney on 4/02/2003 05:07:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
