the effects of hiv (physical, social, psychological) in women
This paper examined the case of AIDS in women, although cases of AIDS in women lagged that of men at the beginning, AIDS cases in women seem to be catching up with those of men today. The literature used in this research suggests that AIDS have different physical, sociological and psychological impact on men compared to women. The AIDS epidemic is far from over. Scientists believe that cases of HIV infection reported among 13- to 24-year-olds are indicative of overall trends in HIV incidence (the number of new infections in a given time period, usually a year) because this age group has more recently initiated high-risk behaviors --and females made up nearly half (47%) of HIV cases in this age group reported from the 34 areas with confidential HIV reporting for adults and adolescents in 2000. {14 Pages, 9 Sources}
