Around the world, the social, economic and political aspects of gender are entwined with the HIV epidemic. Sexism, transphobia and the gender panic at the heart of homophobia are root causes of social injustice and marginalization that fuel the epidemic. But how do gender and gender expression create, increase or reduce vulnerability to HIV?

Do those living within binary gender structures, transgender and non-gender-conforming people and/or gay men of all gender histories have common cause in the epidemic – or are there distinct aspects to our struggles that hamper collaboration?

What do research, policy recommendations, and our life experiences tell us about where we should be directing prevention efforts?
