I really had to stop and reply to this answer. Someone said "Thats totally inaccurate. Men and women are equally as suseptible to contracting the AIDS virus. It's not gender specific. It can be contracted by anybody, of any gender or race."
The statement that women are more likely than men to contract AIDs is indeed correct. Women are (albeit slightly) more likely, even on a strictly biological level.
Here is an excerpt from a credible UN Chronicle, Women and AIDS in South Africa: a conflicted history leads to a dispiriting present, by Alexandra Suich
"While many women have taken action to help counsel
each other and prevent the further spread of AIDS, they
find themselves combating both biological factors and
entrenched social norms. During sexual intercourse,
the statistical probability of infection for women is higher
than men, since men carry a higher viral load or concentration
of HIV in semen than is produced by the female's
vaginal fluid."
