Living in ‘transnational spaces’: Gendered vulnerability to HIV of Chinese immigrants in Canada and the implications for future interventions

This study has three main objectives: a) to understand how “transnational spaces” have had differential impacts on these individuals’ exposure to HIV risk and their capacity to respond to such risk; b) to compare the ways in which HIV related responses, such as knowledge construction, education, service delivery, involvement of civil society organizations (CSOs), and policy-making, have taken account of these gender differences, both in Canada and China; and c) to explore the implications of transnationalism and globalization on HIV interventions, health equity, and gender equity.
