Notes and references
Human Immunodeficiency Virus/ Acquired Immuno Defiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) has turdut out to be particularly intricate for girls and women, in that they not only tend to be infected in greater numbers compared to males, but are also entrusted with the care of sick family members and orphans. The epidemic has caused mortality among young adults to soar, leaving a trail of destiction in the form of reduced income streams, food security, insecure property rights and vulnerable livelihoods. Gender inequality in society, gender-based human rights abuses, poverty among women, violence, and lack of legal protection, among other things, increase the incidence of HIV/AIDS infection among females
