Abstract
Gender has been a key category of enquiry into the AIDS pandemic for many
years. Today, every major international authority involved in the response to
AIDS recognises that a gendered approach is essential to success (UNAIDS 1999,
2000a; UNAIDS, UNFPA and UNIFEM 2004; UNAIDS and KIT 2005; UNDAW
2000; WHO 2003). Programmes to reduce gender inequalities are considered to
be crucial to HIV prevention (see Carovano 1995; Gupta 1995; Jewkes, Levin
and Penn-Kekana 2003, 132). So, there is a broad consensus that gender matters,
but is it so clear that masculinity matters?
