Abstract:
Women with HIV (WWH) were found to have an increased risk of abortion-related infection relative to women without HIV (WWoH) and those without HIV status documented. This relationship persisted even after accounting for factors such as mechanical injury on pelvic examination, a marker of the least safe methods of self-induction. Whether this complication in WWH is because of immunocompromise or behavioral characteristics requires additional investigation.
