Addressing the Gender Gap in HIV Treatment

The global HIV/AIDS epidemic remains a significant public health concern, particularly in Southern Africa, where access to life-saving antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is crucial. This systematic review examines the gender distribution of adult patients on HAART in Southern Africa, investigating potential disparities in access to treatment.

Understanding the Gender Gap in HIV Treatment

The review highlights potential barriers that women may face in accessing HAART programs compared to men. It emphasizes the importance of addressing these disparities to ensure equitable access to treatment and improve the overall health outcomes of women living with HIV/AIDS.

Promoting Equitable Access to HIV Treatment

This review calls for concerted efforts to address the gender gap in HIV treatment, promoting equitable access to HAART programs for both men and women. It emphasizes the need for interventions that target the specific barriers faced by women, ultimately leading to improved health outcomes for all individuals living with HIV/AIDS.
