Women more prone to HIV infectioN

Relative to men, women are still difficult to obtain information on the prevention of AIDS is the world the fact that in most countries and regions. In many countries and regions, their socio-cultural concept of requiring women to play a passive role in sexual behavior and demanded women's right to sex-related matters remain unknown, women are also denied access to education and AIDS prevention training. As a result, have no access to women and girls and sex-related information, hundreds of millions of girls grow up, but for their own reproductive system, and HIV / STD transmission and prevention of literacy. Even if the schools have sex education classes, girls are not given benefits, because the girls (especially in developing countries) will be earlier than boys because of poverty and other reasons to leave the school.

Women's lack of sexual health knowledge, leading to their sexual activity is high risk behaviors for HIV infection.

Biological characteristics of women

Scientists in the study of HIV found that because the body's biological structure is different for men and women caused by male and female HIV infection in the body is not the same as in patients with AIDS, women are often infected with several kinds of HIV. Compared with men, sexual contact or exposure of women to their sexual partners a greater mucosal surface. From the general sense, the semen infected with the AIDS virus, which contains a virus concentration is higher than women's sexual secretions, which makes the chances of the woman than the man passed the woman passed the man. Research shows that unprotected sexual intercourse, women's risk of HIV infection is 2 to 4 times that of men. The young women's greater biological vulnerability. Physiologically immature and inadequate quantity of cervical vaginal secretions of the shielding effect of the AIDS virus is smaller, tearing and bleeding during sexual intercourse, either because of "brutal sex" or the front of the reproductive tract defects, will become -fold increase in the risk of HIV infection. The United Nations global spread of AIDS, the report also pointed out that biology is concerned, more women than men infected with the disease, because they and their sex life during the first sexual experience more exposure to large doses of virus. Their first sexual experience is often more than their buildings, with 5 to 15-year-old men. These men might have been infected with the AIDS virus.
