Gender Disparity and HIV Risk Among Young Black Women in College: A Literature Review

This review article explores the issue of the gender-ratio imbalance among African American college students and its effect on the HIV risk behavior of young Black women in college. The theory of gender and power is used as a conceptual framework. The authors strive to show that there is a significant need for practitioners and researchers to develop and provide holistic gender-specific and culturally competent HIV prevention services for this unique population that reduce power differentials and challenge social norms. The terms African American and Black are used interchangeably to be inclusive of all individuals of African descent.
