Author Description

Product Description Vulnerability to HIV infection can differ between men and women. There is little quantitative or qualitative data on specific vulnerabilities to, and experiences of, HIV infection for women in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. This report details a qualitative analysis of gender issues that may increase women's vulnerability to acquire HIV, and/or have an impact on their access to and quality of experience of HIV/AIDS programs and services in Jordan and Yemen. The data generated from the analysis can be used by program managers and policy-makers to strengthen the gender-responsiveness of HIV programming and HIV-related policies in the Region.
