Gender-Specific Interventions for Women and their Male Partners
Overview and list of investigators working in this area of research
Since 1987, the HIV Center has assembled a unique concentration of researchers with expertise on women's issues and has often led the way in tailoring interventions to meet the gender-specific prevention needs of women and their male partners. Areas of current research focus on strategies to promote "dual protection" against pregnancy and disease, understanding women's risk behavior within the context of their relationships with men, and cognitive models used by young heterosexual adults in decision-making. HIV Center work with women is especially global in scope and includes programs in China and sub-Saharan Africa. HIV Center researchers have also been centrally involved with the promotion of research on topical microbicides and the female condom.
