HIV and Conflict:

A Double Emergency ("Without war, we could fight AIDS"), Save the Children, 2002.

This document highlights the relationship between the spread of HIV and war, noting (among other problems) that women and children are often forced to turn to sexual bartering in order to survive and that the rape, sexual violence, sexual exploitation (sometimes by aid workers) and trafficking of human beings that occurs during and after armed conflict has contributed to a rise in cases in both females and in boys.
