Question

1. If a woman does not say “no” to intercourse, does that mean she has consented? How much does poor communication between males and females lead to potential rape situations? Should men take responsibility for asking women if they want to continue, rather than assume she is consenting?

2. Describe the different types of stigma that people living with HIV must face. Share your thoughts about the cultural influences have on perceptions of people living with HIV.

Answer 1

Answer: Women say no to intercourse means that she has right to reject. Intercourse is a mutual consent between men and women. The poor communication between males and females lead to potential rape situation as some of the females are unable to express their feelings and rights

Men should always seek permission from the female and vice versa. Because this should be a mutual consent and decision equally.

Different types of stigma that people living with HIV faces:

• Inequality
• Low self esteem
• Insulted
• Rejected everyone.

Patients those who are HIV infected are morally depressed, frustrated as well as they are unable to stand equally in the society.
