'...innovative and important in extending our understanding of how gender and sexual identities shape HIV epidemics in different parts of the world. It explores the experiences of both women and men and highlights the impact of gender on their access to economic and social support and to health care.' Lesley Doyal, University of Bristol, UK 'As the HIV/AIDS epidemic matures it is becoming ever more apparent how important gender issues are, especially in the developing world. Gender determines who is most likely to be infected, how people are affected, and their response. This perceptive collection of papers is a valuable addition to both the literature and the conceptualization of gender perspectives.' Alan Whiteside, University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa 'Gender and HIV/AIDS provides a sobering outline of the multi-layered and entangled structures that place women in vulnerable positions in their communities and highlights the struggle we face as scholars, politicians, policy writers, and AIDS/HIV program leaders to improve the sexual health of women, men, and children worldwide.' Journal of International Women's Studies
