37 Women and HIV/AIDS Program Devorah Garland Women and HIV/AIDS Community Development Coordinator

38 Women and HIV: a complicated issue There is a direct correlation between women s low status, the violation of their human rights and HIV transmission. This is not simply a matter of social justice. Gender inequality is fatal. Noeleen Heyzer, former executive director of UNIFEM, 2001 (SHE website)

39 Ontario Women are risk of contracting HIV: There were 4,749 women living with HIV in Ontario in This accounts for 18 per cent of all people living with HIV. CATIE, Canada s source for HIV and Hepatitis C information, reports this represents a 71 per cent increase since Nearly 25% of all new diagnoses in 2007 and 2008 were women. (Source: Ontario HIV Epidemiologic Monitoring Unit. This finding is supported by research at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences and St. Michael's Hospital). Women account for an average of 274 new infections each year since % of women estimated to be living with HIV in Ontario are still undiagnosed.

40 Particularly Vulnerable young women Aboriginal women and new canadians trans women women who use drugs women from countries where HIV is endemic women involved in sex work women who are or who have been incarcerated.

41 Women and Violence Sexual, emotional or physical violence is associated with HIV infection. 50% of Canadian women over the age of 16 report having experienced sexual violence or abuse.

42 Young Women In 2008, young women between made up 59.3% of positive test reports among youth of this age group, a trend noted for the last 10 years. (PHAC, 2009). injecting drug use exposure accounted for 49.3% of these cases compared to 17.6% among young men.

43 African, Caribbean, Black Women African and Caribbean women accounted for 20% of AIDS diagnoses in Ontario in oo2. 57% of all infants born infected with HIV were born to mothers from HIVendemic countries.

44 Aboriginal Women Positive HIV test reports among Aboriginal women were 48.1%, compared to the 25% infection rate for women in general.

45 Women have several factors that increase their vulnerability to HIV Biological Psycho-social Violence

46 Reaching HIV Positive Women Homelessness socioeconomic, racial and ethnic discrimination Goal: refer them to ACDR for support services

47 HIV and Her Health: Educate Her to Empower Her. All women are at risk Understand the particular vulnerabilities of women Recognize the needs of HIV positive women, and refer them to ACDR Tailored presentations are available to assist you with your programming for female clients.
