The number of women with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is rising, yet research remains limited. This review highlights the need for focused studies on women

Area of Science:

  • Women's Health
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • The prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in women has significantly increased over the past decade.
  • Existing research on HIV/AIDS predominantly focuses on men, potentially limiting the applicability of findings to women.
  • There is a critical need for more research specifically addressing the natural history and clinical management of HIV infection in women.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current understanding of HIV infection in women, addressing key areas relevant to obstetrician-gynaecologists.
  • To emphasize the unique aspects of HIV/AIDS in the female population.
  • To provide a comprehensive overview for clinicians managing HIV-infected women.

  • This review synthesizes existing scientific literature and clinical data.
  • It focuses on serodiagnosis, pregnancy impacts, mother-to-child transmission, gynecological manifestations, and clinical care.
  • The review draws upon studies and clinical observations relevant to women's health.

Main Results:

  • Serodiagnosis of HIV in women requires specific considerations.
  • Pregnancy can influence HIV disease progression, and mother-to-child transmission is a critical concern.
  • Gynecological infections and malignancies may present differently in HIV-infected women.

Conclusions:

  • Obstetrician-gynaecologists play a crucial role in diagnosing and managing HIV infection in women.
  • Further research is essential to address the specific needs and outcomes of women living with HIV/AIDS.
  • Comprehensive, gender-specific care is vital for improving the health of women with HIV.
