Self-Management Of HIV/AIDS In Womens
Pakistan has an elevated risk of low prevalence with HIV /
AIDS in the marginalized population, such as in intravenous drug users in Karachi. HIV /
AIDS is shown to increase in high-risk groups with concentrated epidemics starting from Karachi with a strong potential to be transferred to the general population through an intimately weakened social network. Based on biological and socioeconomic considerations, particularly gender inequality, Pakistani women are more vulnerable to HIV /
AIDS infection. Since the socio-economic status, mobility, and lack of
decision-making in general for women in the country contribute to all those factors.Literacy among women is much lower (41%) than among men (64%) and while literacy is usually a precautionary barrier to HIV and AIDS, it is also very difficult for women to know how to prevent HIV infection. In this case study, the case of HIV patients (n=12) in Pakistan is investigated. The research examines the
health crisis of HIV /
AIDS and discusses obstacles to HIV /
AIDS in society as well as in
health services and proposes an HIV /
AIDS self-management and a systems approach for HIV prevention.
