According to Rodrigues-Júnior and Castilho [12], the feminization of AIDS is related to the greater vulnerability of women compared to men, with difficulties in negotiating for protection during intercourse. It was noted in this study that most men and women are sexually active, thereby increasing the vulnerability of women, owing to their partners’ extramarital affairs [13].…”

The wish to have their own children and the confidence that emerges between stable partners results in less use of condoms, increasing women's vulnerability [ 3 , 25 , 26 ]. Uneven gender relations and men's unfaithfulness are considered important factors for HIV transmission among women [ 27 , 28 ].…”
