La vulnerabilidad e invisibilidad de las mujeres ante el VIH/SIDA: constantes y cambios en el tema

Abstract: This paper presents some thoughts on the problems endured by women facing HIV/AIDS. World and nationwide statistics show an upward trend of the epidemic among women, calling for the need to address this problem. A case is made for the way in which gender structure and relations facilitate the vulnerability of women to this disease, increasing their risk of infection related with specific factors like migration, employment unsafe conditions, and domestic violence, among others. Emphasis is made on the main obst… Show more

“…Neither has the link between social position and the specific features which characterize adherence in the different groups been clear. Although the relationship between the poverty of women and HIV/AIDS has been recognized as an essential determinant of the dynamics of the epidemic (Farmer, 1996;Herrera & Campero, 2002;Rao, 2004;Wingood & Diclemente, 2000), adherence among this population is a topic on which there has been little research and the results are not consistent. A systematic literature review of 116 studies presents the conclusion that even though there is a positive trend in relation to adherence in various chronic illnesses and some areas of socioeconomic status, for example income, education and occupation, there is insufficient evidence about statistically significant associations between socioeconomic status and adherence among patients with HIV/AIDS (Falagas, 2008).…”

“…Además, otros estudios explican el bajo uso del preservativo a partir del bajo poder en la relación de las mujeres (Fernández-Esquer et al, 2004;Harvey et al, 2002). Concretamente, aquellas mujeres con relaciones donde sus parejas tienen mayor poder y control, presentan mayor consumo de drogas (Jewkes, Dunkle, Nduna y Shai, 2010), más probabilidades de padecer, al menos, un tipo de disfunción sexual y menor satisfacción sexual (Lau et al, 2006), mayor probabilidad de suicidio (Canetto, 2008) y mayor probabilidad de ser infectadas por el VIH y otras ITS (Bermúdez, Castro, Gude et al, 2010;Herrera y Campero, 2002;Pulerwitz y Barker, 2008). En lo que respecta a la doble moral, se ha obtenido que las mujeres puntúan menos que los varones.…”

“…Los factores sociales, estructurales (Scambler, 2006; Marzán-Rodríguez, Cintrón-Bou y Varas-Díaz, 2011; Rivera-Díaz, Varas-Díaz, Reyes-Estrada, Suro, Coriano, 2012) y culturales como: los roles de género, el nivel socioeconó-mico, el nivel educativo y las razones étnicas han sido documentados como factores que pueden hacer más vulnerables a las mujeres con el VIH/SIDA (Herrera y Campero, 2002; Rodrí-guez-Madera y Varas-Díaz, 2012). La construcción del género se refiere a la diferencia entre lo masculino y lo femenino basada en lo socialmente establecido (Valle-Ferrer, 2011).…”

“…Esto abre paso a lo que Herrera y Campero (2002) llaman vulnerabilidad social. Mientras las mujeres tengan menor acceso a la educación y al trabajo asalariado, continuarán dependiendo de los hombres y su acceso a servicios de salud puede ser limitado (Herrera y Campero, 2002). ValleFerrer (2011) plantea que a la mujer «se le adjudica responsabilidad por el éxito o fracaso de la vida familiar a la vez que se les ve como una propiedad del hombre» (p. 137).…”
