      abstract = {This book addresses the ongoing problem of HIV in black  South African women as a health inequity. Importantly, it  argues that this urgent problem of justice is changeable.  Sprague uses the capabilities approach to bring a theory of  health justice, together with multiple sources of evidence,  to investigate the complex problem of HIV and accompanying  poor health outcomes in black South African women.  Motivated by a concern for application of knowledge, this  work discusses how to better conceptualise what health  justice demands of state and society, and how to mobilise  available evidence on health inequities in ways that compel  greater state action to address problems of gender and  health. HIV in women, and possible responses, are  investigated on four distinct levels: conceptual, social  structure, health systems, and law. The analysis  demonstrates that this problem is indeed modifiable with  long-term interventions and an enhanced state response  targeted at multiple levels. This book will be of interest  to academics and students in the social health sciences,  gender and development studies, and global health, as well  as HIV/health activists, government officials, policy  makers, HIV clinicians and health providers interested in  HIV.},
