Women are 2.5 times more likely than men to contract HIV.
They are also twice as likely to contract a Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) from their partner's actions than from their own. There are a lot of things that men can do to help turn the tide of HIV/AIDS, but nothing is more important than taking responsibility for their role.
