The two issues are more or less independent. Poverty contributes to the spread of HIV since protection is relatively more expensive and since poor people, on average, have shorter lives, they care less about a disease which may take decades to manifest. However, poverty is very different from income inequality. (You can a high level of wealth inequality, but have very few people who are at the poor end, and conversely, you can have almost universal poverty.)
In 2007, worldwide about 0.8% of all adults were HIV-positive.In the United States in 2002, the estimate was that 300,000 men were HIV-positive; the number of these men who are gay is not known precisely because many men who have HIV are not gay, and may who have sex with other men will not admit to being gay.In 2007, the estimate was the 1 in 5 urban gay men is HIV-positive, or 20%.

Malaria is the leading cause of deaths in Africa each year, with an estimated 384,000 fatalities, mainly affecting children under the age of five. HIV/AIDS, lower respiratory infections, and diarrheal diseases also contribute significantly to the mortality rate in Africa.
Gender equality reduces the risk of HIV infection. Gender inequality increases the risk by limiting women's choices to have a safe sex life.
Gender inequality can contribute to the spread of HIV and AIDS if women are not sufficiently empowered to insist on a safe relationship with monogamy or condom use. In addition, inability of women to financially support themselves may require them to consent to unsafe sexual relationships.
Yes both genders can get HIV.
HIV is an infectious disease. It is not spread through genetics.
HIV can't be spread by breathing. It is a bloodborne, not airborne, pathogen.
Casual contact, sweat, tears, feces, urine do not affect the spread of HIV.
Not if the woman is not infected with HIV.

No, HIV is not easily spread through simple casual contact. HIV is spread when bodily fluids come in direct contact with the bloodstream of another person.
Three notable South African initiatives addressing gender inequality and violence against women and children, particularly for those living with HIV, include the National Strategic Plan on HIV, STIs, and TB 2022-2027, which emphasizes gender-based violence (GBV) as a critical issue; the Thuthuzela Care Centres, which provide holistic support services for survivors of sexual violence; and the Engender Health’s “Men as Partners” program, which actively involves men in promoting gender equality and reducing violence against women. These initiatives aim to create a more equitable society and support vulnerable populations.
