HIV/AIDS is a complex disease that affects every aspect of your life — your health, your relationships, your livelihood, and your future goals. If you have HIV, or know someone who has HIV, you are not alone. There are many women across the world who are coping with this disease. Although having HIV can have a devastating impact on your life, women with HIV are living longer and stronger lives filled with love and happiness. Whether you are at risk for getting HIV, living with HIV, or caring for a friend, child, or other family member, you may be looking for reliable information to help you each step of the way. The National Women's Health Information Center (NWHIC) provides information to women and links to helpful resources.
Women and HIV/AIDS was reviewed by Celia J. Maxwell, MD, FACP, Assistant Vice President for Health Sciences and Director, Women's Health Initiative (WHI), Howard University.
