Food Insecurity—A Risk Factor
for HIV Infection

was de?ned as exchanging sex for
money, food, or other resources
over the previous 12 months and for
men this was de?ned as paying for or
providing resources for sex over the
previous 12 months.) Gender equity
was explored through questions
assessing aspects of sexual relationships.
The results were striking. Of all the
study participants, 32% of women
and 22% of men had experienced
food insuf?ciency in the preceding
12 months. Food insuf?ciency was
associated with increased HIV risk
behaviour, and this association
was much more marked in women
than men. Risk behaviour included
inconsistent condom use, sex exchange,
increased intergenerational sex, and
lack of control over sexual relationships.
This is an important study,
with major implications for policy
makers, although there are some
methodological weaknesses that limit
how the data can be analysed and
interpreted. One year is a long period
for accurate recall of food suf?ciency
and the details of sexual relationships.
Categorising household income
