abstract	In this essay the authors examine the character of the HIV/AIDS infection and its effects within the socio-cultural praxis of gender inequality in Africa. Adopting the empirical, expository and analytical methodologies, this paper seeks to establish that gender inequality is a core factor in explaining and understating the character of HIV/AIDS infection and the care of the affected in Africa. By means of the hermeneutical method, it is suggested that the adoption of the egalitarian principles and teachings advocated in the Bahá'í religion will greatly help in appropriately addressing and solving the complex challenges posed by HIV/AIDS through the resolution of the social and cultural problem of gender inequality in Africa.
