Cial mechanisms. Connell's theory of gender and power has been shown previously to explain the gender effects in the spread of HIV/AIDS infection [11,12]. Sa and Larsen applied this theory in their study in Moshi, Tanzania, using gender inequality to explain women's risk of HIV infection [12].

Pared to ST, and the proportion of Treg as well as the Th17/Treg ratio was normalized following ART (data not shown). Interestingly, plasma sCD40L levels were correlated with increased Treg frequency (P = 0?1, r = 0?001) (Fig. 2b) and a low Th17/Treg ratio in all HIV-infected patients (P = 0?08, r = ??210) (Fig. 2c). Such a correlation was not observed with Th17 cell frequency (P = 0?7, data not s

Bservient and gentle [25]. The gender roles in some cases are so well defined that if the males should go into areas meant for females, it is regarded as abomination [25]. Amadiume argues that the traditional gender roles and systems in Nigeria, have been eroded with the changes over time [14], leaving poor women in even more vulnerable positions. While not all cultures have such clearly defined g
E difference is that they feel women are flirts. (female, single, company worker). It is better to tell government, especially for female people living with HIV/AIDS, because if you do not take care she can spread it to other male people. Some of them know they will die one day so they start flirting about; therefore government should restrict their movement. (male, married, company worker). This
W she has been faithful to her husband and there was no history of blood transfusion, and if she has that kind of disease, the husband must have given it to her. (female, married, medical doctor). Such women emphasize their innocence to gain support from their spouses. Continuity of support from their spouses is very important. Furthermore, a participantMbonu et al.
