Different studies reveal to us that women are more susceptible to HIV/AIDS infection than men. According to Helen Jackson, about 60 percent of people living with the ailment are female.
"Nearly 60 percent of infections at the moment are in women, most of them in younger women," Helen Jackson quoted during a past conference.
"The physiological data seem to indicate it's something like twice as easy for women to become infected as for men," she further added
Among the factors that make women be more vulnerable to the malady are financial dependence including sociocultural and physiological reasons.
lack of economic power has been listed among the factors that make women be at a higher risks of contracting the disease.
In this case, you find that men are more powerful than women when it comes to catering for their basic needs.
Women are so dependent to a point that they can't speak out hence men trample and sexually abuse them.
Another sociocultural reasons is the physical and social violence. Men use force when they want to have unprotected sex with a woman and this is why so many women end up being victimized by the disease.
Some women are clueless since they lack access to imperative and educative information on sexuality and HIV/AIDS.
