“…The greater spread of HIV in women in poorer areas has been reported in several studies. 9,10,12,13,15 In addition to greater biological vulnerability to HIV infection, due to the higher prevalence of asymptomatic sexually transmitted diseases and the higher risk of infection in sexual intercourse, there are subjective situations associated with gender inequalities that women are exposed to, especially those from lower social classes.

“…No que diz respeito à razão de sexos, nessa faixa etária observa-se que nos últimos 20 anos também ocorreu redução na proporção de casos entre homens e mulheres (BRASIL, 2011).
