[单项选择] A few months ago, on a trip to Africa, I met with a group of women in Kibera, the biggest slum in Kenya. These women ranged in age from 16 to 45 but had one thing in common: AIDS had devastated their lives. A woman I’’ll call Chanya told me her story. Chanya is a mother in her 30s trying to raise four children. She does not fit the typical profile of a person living with AIDS— at least not the profile that prevails in the West. She is not a man who has sex with men; she is not a sex worker; she does not use IV drugs. She has engaged in no behavior at all that is high risk for AIDS, except for one— she got married. Her husband, tragically, did engage in high-risk behavior: he had unprotected sex outside his marriage. Chanya’’s story is not rare. Why are women so vulnerable Physiological differences make women twice as likely as men to contract HIV from an infected partner during sex. In many countries, sexual inequality compounds the hazard by making it difficult, if not
A. it is colorless and odorless
B. it can be used to prevent sexual transmission of HIV
C. it put the power to prevent AIDS into the hands of women
D. it is used mainly in Africa
