Research carried out among HIVpositive women in Abia state, Nigeria showed that 86.7 of the women in the study were denied rights to family resources [20]. It is also generally accepted that sons provide continu

Cial mechanisms. Connell's theory of gender and power has been shown previously to explain the gender effects in the spread of HIV/AIDS infection [11,12]. Sa and Larsen applied this theory in their study in Moshi, Tanzania, using gender inequality to explain women's risk of HIV infection [12]. In this study, we adopt Connell's theory of gender and power as a theoretical framework to explore and cl
