Men matter! AIDS, Gender and Masculinities

SIDA & Lunds University, May 2007.

This report stresses the importance of involving men as partners in HIV prevention, increasing their involvement in sexual and reproductive health and rights, and looking more closely at how the construction of gender influences the spread of HIV. It includes sections on the epidemiology of men and HIV, men at high risk, and implications for research, policy and practice. Ultimately, they conclude that there needs to be more research into the connections between men, masculinities and HIV.
