This booklet is intended to answer some of the most commonly asked questions about HIV infection in women. It outlines how HIV affects women and the effectiveness of anti-HIV treatment in women. Information on HIV and pregnancy is also included. The booklet also provides information on the day-to-day issues involved in living with HIV.
This booklet has been written to help you decide what questions to ask your doctor. We don't intend for it to replace discussion with your doctor about your treatment.
