Cet article examine la santé des femmes dans le cadre de la prévalence et de l’incidence du VIH/SIDA en Afrique sub-saharienne. Les facteurs de risque que la littérature académique suppose comme étant a l’origine de l’augmentation des taux de VIH/SIDA chez les femmes d’Afrique sub-saharienne sont identifiés. Parmi les facteurs de risque abordés, figurent les facteurs biologiques, les parasites, la malnutrition, un faible statut socio-économique, la violence conjugale, la guerre, l’inégalité entre les sexes et le manque d’éducation. Ces facteurs de risque sont liés à plusieurs déterminants de la santé, y compris le niveau de revenu et le statut social, l'éducation et l'alphabétisme, l'emploi, l'environnement physique, le sexe et la culture. Les auteurs présentent leurs points de vue concernant l’endiguement de l’épidémie du VIH/ SIDA, pensant surtout à réduire les effets de la pauvreté chez les femmes d'Afrique sub-saharienne.
