Medical - Medical: Health Care / HIV -AIDS
Spanish term or phrase: se está feminizando
La epidemia se está feminizando debido a que hay una mayor prevalencia de VIH en hombres que tienen sexo con hombres y más del 70% de estos son bisexuales, lo que constituye un puente epidemiológico que acelera la transmisión a mujeres.

it's being transmitted evermore to women


Explanation:
there is a higher prevalence of HIV in homosexual men, who in turn have heterosexual relation in over 70% of cases; creating an epidemiological connection for transmitting the disease to women

Reference: Feminización de...

Reference information:
Creo que el término se empezó a usar con relación a la pobreza (354.000 citas en Google):

www.ywcadallas.org/documents/advocacy/FeminizationofPoverty...
"women experience poverty at far higher rates than men".

Se usa "feminization of", "feminized poverty"... y según entiendo es no solo que algo se propaga entre las mujeres, sino que lo hace a un ritmo mayor que entre los hombres.

Hay 186.000 entradas de "feminization of HIV"
