Why aren?t sex and gender issues higher up the agenda in HIV/AIDS research? That was the topic of a panel discussion I participated in on Monday 23rd July at the biannual International AIDS Conference, AIDS2012. Motivation for this session drew from the fact that women now make up over half of all people living with HIV around the world and are bearing the brunt of the epidemic. Introducing today?s plenaries, conference co-chair Diane Havlir announced ?We cannot even begin to talk about ending AIDS when so much of the impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic continues to be so heavily skewed towards women?. However, women are often under-represented in HIV/AIDS trials.
