Gender Policy and HIV in China
China's concentrated HIV
epidemic is on the brink of becoming a generalized one in several regions.
Social factors relating to gender and gender inequality exacerbate the spread of
HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STI) in China. Aspects of China's
governance - including administrative procedures, the developing legal system,
social institutions, and the public health infrastructure - are all instrumental
in shaping strategies and responses to HIV. This roundtable and associated
working group will enable a multi-disciplinary group of U.S. and China scholars,
experts, policy makers, and activists to consider how gender inequality affects
the spread and control of HIV in China. It will focus in particular on
initiatives where achievable and sustainable policy measures may be meaningfully
linked to the public health response.
