Abstract (2. Language): 
The impact of gender on HIV/AIDS is an important dimension in understanding the evolution of the epidemic. HIV/AIDS is one of the vital problems of our century. HIV/AIDS is not merely a medical disease but also is a problem, which possesses economical, cultural, psychological and social dimensions. Women are more vulnerable to HIV than men because of biological and cultural factors. Besides women who carry HIV virus experience difficulty in taking care of their own health, they also carry the burden of possibility that their children and other members of the family might catch HIV virus. Most often, social support is insufficient and the conditions brought by treatment cannot be utilized appropriately due to external interventions. Most of the problems that women under the risk of HIV run into are largely social rather than medical. Many women infected with HIV were isolated because they didn’t get of sufficient social support or didn’t equal time for their care and it is thought that this inequality still continues. An analysis of the impact of gender on HIV/AIDS demonstrates the importance of integrating gender into HIV programming and finding ways to strengthen women by implementing policies and programs that increase their access to education and information. Women's empowerment is vital to reversing the epidemic.

Abstract (Original Language): 
HIV/AIDS üzerinde cinsiyetin etkisi epideminin anlaşılmasında önemlidir. HIV/AIDS çağımızın en önemli sorunlarından biridir. HIV/AIDS sadece tıbbi bir hastalık değil, aynı zamanda ekonomik, kültürel, psikolojik ve sosyal boyutları da olan bir sorundur. Kadınlar biyolojik ve kültürel faktörlerden dolayı HIV’e karşı erkeklerden daha duyarlıdırlar. HIV taşıyan kadınlar sağlıklarına dikkat etmekte güçlük çektikleri gibi çocukları ve diğer aile fertlerinin de HIV virüsü almaları ihtimali yüzünden büyük bir yük taşımaktadırlar. Çoğunlukla sosyal destek yetersiz kalmakta ve dışarıdan gelen müdahalelerle tedavinin gerektirdiği koşullardan yeterince yararlanamamaktadırlar. HIV riski altındaki kadınların karşılaştığı sorunların çoğu medikal olmaktan çok toplumsaldır. Birçok HIV ile enfekte olan kadın, bakımı için yeterli sosyal destek yada eşit zaman görmeksizin izole edilmiştir ve bu eşitsizliğin hala daha sürdüğü düşünülmektedir. Cinsiyetin HIV/AIDS üzerindeki etkisi analiz edildiğinde, eğitim ve bilgilendirme programlarının artırılması ve politikalara uyarlanmasıyla kadınların güçlendirilmesinin önemi görülmektedir.
