AIDS and women

just read an excellent post by a friend of mine, sarada.  she highlights an important issue from the NY Times magazine cover story on aids: gender and power politics in the aids pandemic.  studies have shown that young, married, monogamous women have higher rates of aids infection than sexually active single young women in kenya and zambia.  why?  check out sarada’s post (http://s-peri.blogspot.com/2006/08/mental.html) and the cover story for more information.
