The objective of this article is to analyze how the relations of class, race and gender are articulated in the history of post-independence of Mozambique to produce women's structural vulnerability to HIV. Bibliographic research adopts critical social theory to analyze government policies, national and international NGO reports, academic and other research. Class relations, gender and cultural traditions reaffirm men's domination over sexuality, labor, land and property, and women's citizenship, at an intersection with the neoliberal ideology affirming, not without resistance, the subalternity and vulnerability of women in a context of a widespread HIV/AIDS epidemic. Women's organizations support them in the fight against the increasing feminization of the HIV / AIDS epidemic, combined with poverty.
