In this essay is established the framework panorama for the women and the Hiv. We jointed our reflections, on the women's empowerment with the Krista Burlae theory and the feminist psychology. Also we establish relationships between the gender hierarchy and the maintenance of female vulnerability present in heterosexual marital relationships and its effects on women's sexual health. We emphasize the empowerment of women as a preventive factor to be considered. Using the statistics relating to the Hiv / aiDS epidemic as starting point, in order to focus the attention on the overall health of women and articulate their private life, with the public health. Given the considerations made, we believe is necessary to transform the triad: women / sexual health / public health.
