This article forms one chapter in a book which emerged from a seminar taught by the authors of the book at the University of San Francisco in spring 1994. The theme underlying the chapter is the vulnerability of women to HIV/AIDS, and it focuses on recommendations made by the International Center for Research on Women as part of the ICRW Women and AIDS Research Program which target the barriers women face in protecting themselves from HIV infection. Some of the findings of the research programme have led to the development of interventions which are currently being developed and tested in the field as part of the second phase of the programme.
