Climate change, hunger and HIV are a triple threat to vulnerable African women

In Africa alone, an estimated 140 million people face acute food insecurity.

LZ Granderson: Climate change, hunger and HIV are a triple threat to vulnerable African women.

She says food insecurity was associated with a two-fold increase in HIV acquisition in women, but not men.

Granderson says it's vital to provide food support directly to women in communities with high HIV burden.

Young, unmarried women will be left behind in the fight against HIV if we do not develop solutions that look at the bigger picture of global public health.

We will see rising levels of disease forcing women to take greater and greater risks just to survive unless the world acts now.
