    Area of Science:

    • Virology
    • Immunology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Rapid advancements in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) biology and immunopathogenesis.
    • Increasing proportion of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) cases in US women.
    • Heterosexual transmission is the fastest-growing HIV transmission route.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To discuss the implications of current HIV knowledge for women's health.
    • To highlight the rising incidence of AIDS in US women and heterosexual transmission.
    • To review treatment disparities and gynecologic complications in women with HIV.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of population-based studies on HIV/AIDS treatment and outcomes in women.
    • Analysis of trends in HIV transmission modes.
    • Examination of reported gynecologic complications associated with HIV.

    Main Results:

    • Overall survival with HIV/AIDS is comparable between genders with similar treatment.
    • Women with HIV are less likely to receive antiretroviral therapy compared to men.
    • Gynecologic issues like candidiasis, cervical dysplasia, and carcinoma are increasingly recognized in women with HIV.

    Conclusions:

    • Despite similar survival rates, women face treatment disparities and unique health challenges.
    • Further research is needed on HIV in pregnancy and its effects on disease progression.
    • Current knowledge necessitates tailored prevention and treatment strategies for women with HIV.
