description: This dissertation critiques the hypothesis that the disadvantages experienced by women in terms of income, political representation etc. renders them more vulnerable to HIV infection. Using literature reviews and quantitative research methods applied to Demographic and Household Survey data from Lesotho, Swaziland and Zimbabwe, we argue that this relationship varies from country to country and contest the proposition that either structural factors or individual factors mainly affect HIV.
