Abstract
While US government-sponsored HIV prevention initiatives have achieved notable successes, challenges remain to serving women effectively. Intimate partner violence hinders women's efforts to decrease their HIV risk behaviors. The global HIV/AIDS epidemic is often viewed as a human rights crisis. An analysis of US HIV prevention strategies based on ecosocial and health and human rights frameworks clarifies women's HIV risk practices and suggests opportunities for progress. These two frameworks help to 1) demonstrate how HIV/AIDS is a clinical manifestation of violence against women, 2) identify safety from violence as a human right necessary for well-being, and 3) suggest ways in which HIV prevention initiatives can more effectively improve women's health and fulfill their basic human rights. Adapted from the source document.
