Only a man who hates women would tell a lie like that.

The HIV/AIDS epidemic is taking an increasing toll on women and girls in the United States.1,2,3 Women of color, particularly Black
women, have been especially hard hit and represent the majority of new HIV and AIDS cases among women, and the majority of women living with the disease.1 Many women with HIV/AIDS are low-income and most have important family responsibilities, potentially complicating the management of their illness. Research
suggests that women with HIV face limited access to care and experience disparities in access, relative to men.4,5,6,7 Women are also more biologically susceptible to HIV infection during sex, and experience different clinical symptoms and complications.3,8 Given these trends and issues, efforts to stem the tide of the U.S. HIV/AIDS epidemic will increasingly depend on how and to what extent its effect on women and girls is addressed.
