 abstract = {The aim of this article is to engage critically with feminist HIV/AIDS research from                an ‘intersectional’ perspective. Focusing in particular on the                work of Tamsin Wilton (1997) and Janet Holland et al. (1998), the article examines                how ‘race’, ethnicity and class are theorized and conceptualized                in this literature. Through a scrutiny of their empirical analyses, the article                points to the pitfalls of a descriptive approach to                ‘differences’ and problematizes Wilton's and Holland et                al.'s theoretical focus on gender and sexuality. The benefit of including a                critical perspective on ‘race’ and ethnicity and other axes of                domination is illustrated further using some empirical examples from the Swedish                HIV/AIDS policy context. The article concludes by arguing that an intersectional                perspective poses a challenge to feminist HIV/AIDS research that needs to be                addressed in order to produce an effective sexual health policy.},
