HIV: The Basics
HIV: The Basics - An Overview
Women and HIV
Certain gynecological (GYN) conditions are more common, more serious and/or more difficult to treat in HIV+ women than HIV- women:
  • Herpes simplex virus (genital herpes)
  • Human papilloma virus (warts, dysplasia)
  • Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
  • Fungal Infections (yeast infections, vaginal candidiasis)
  • Menstrual (period) Problems
HIV+ women should have regular GYN care and Pap smears since many GYN conditions do not have obvious symptoms and can get worse without your realizing it.
