For the most part, articles on AIDS focus on issues pertaining to gay men. Little has been written specifically about women with AIDS, particularly within a feminist framework. This article explores, from a feminist perspective, the special impact that AIDS has on women as potential victims, carriers of the disease, and caretakers of others with the disease. It emphasizes how the sexual politics of this disease influence society's view of women with AIDS, as well as the delivery of services to this population.
