The HIV/AIDS problem has improved in recent years. The number of newly infected persons is declining year after year (2.1 million new cases in 2013). However, the news is still grim and especially so for young women. Why does HIV seem to discriminate against women, especially younger women? Women are physiologically more susceptible than men, but among the most significant causes are gender inequity and related poverty and human rights issues. A number of strategies and tactics are used in the struggle with HIV/AIDS. Some are old ideas, found successful in campaigns against other diseases. Others are of more recent origin. Among the latter has been the use of sport. In this essay, we discuss some of the ways in which sport is used to assist women in the struggle against HIV/AIDS. A survey of problems associated with the spread and the prevention of HIV/AIDS is indicative of the difficulties faced. Of the many strategies and tactics, is there a role for sport? Sport has been able to assist with some of the associated problems. Although in some instances a sport activity is aimed at a single issue, more often the purposes are multiple. Often, events and programmes are not specifically aimed at a female audience, though frequently separate activities are used for each gender.

非洲妇女与艾滋病毒/艾滋病斗争中的足球和无挡板篮球

近年来,艾滋病毒/艾滋病问题有所改善。新感染人数逐年下降(2013年有210万新病例)。然而,这个消息仍然严峻,尤其是对于年轻女性而言。为什么艾滋病病毒似乎歧视妇女,尤其是年轻妇女?妇女在生理上比男子更容易受到影响,但最重要的原因是性别不平等以及相关的贫困和人权问题。在与艾滋病毒/艾滋病的斗争中采用了许多战略和策略。有些是古老的想法,在抗击其他疾病的运动中获得成功。其他的则是较近的起源。后者是运动的使用。在本文中,我们讨论了使用运动来帮助妇女抗击艾滋病毒/艾滋病的一些方法。对与艾滋病毒/艾滋病传播和预防有关的问题进行的调查表明所面临的困难。在众多策略和战术中,体育有作用吗?体育已经能够帮助解决一些相关的问题。尽管在某些情况下,体育活动是针对单个问题的,但通常目的是多重的。通常,事件和节目并非专门针对女性受众,尽管每种性别经常使用单独的活动。
