HIV and gender-based violence: Welcome policies and programmes, but is the research keeping up?
2014, Reproductive Health MattersCitation Excerpt :This emergent literature underscores the ways in which gender relations and violence are linked through the intersections between resources, agency, and health outcomes, providing insights that are relevant not only to women but also to men and transgender individuals. The earliest peer-reviewed studies reporting on the synergistic pandemics of HIV and violence appear to be from the early 1990s,21–28 although only some of those studies took the relationship between HIV and violence as their primary focus.27,28 In 2000, Maman et al. published a landmark review addressing the linkages between HIV and violence.

Nothing can defeat combined hands (Abashize hamwe ntakibananira): Protective processes and resilience in Rwandan children and families affected by HIV/AIDS
2011, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :Rwanda presents an important example of compounded adversity where the legacy of the genocide, severe poverty, and HIV/AIDS have had devastating consequences for the functioning of families and the larger community (Bachmann & Booysen, 2003; Bauman et al., 2006; Doku, 2009; Lester et al., 2010; Murphy, Greenwell, Mouttapa, Brecht, & Schuster, 2006). As in other regions of SSA, people affected by HIV/AIDS in Rwanda contend with social ostracism and community stigma, problems which interrupt social processes that allow an extended community network to provide support for families facing adversity (Abebe & Aase, 2007; Duffy, 2005; Feldman, Friedman, & Des Jarlais, 1987; Keogh, Allen, Almedal, & Temahagili, 1994; Miller, Gruskin, Subramanian, & Heymann, 2007; Simbayi et al., 2007; Spaar et al., 2010). In addition, while the estimated HIV prevalence rate in Rwanda is 2.9% among adults and 1.6% among young people (lower than average rates in SSA), the loss of nearly one million people during the genocide of 1994 has left the social fabric that normally supported healthy child rearing deeply torn.
