Résumé
While there has been some progress in expanding human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) services for females, HIV prevention and treatment coverage among males remain poor. The widening disparity between males and females has garnered little attention- a cause for concern. In this article, we highlight the need to reach more males with HIV services and the importance of disaggregated data to identify age- and gender-specific gaps in HIV service delivery.
