AB The incidence of AIDS in women over the age of 13 is increasing
dramatically in the United States, with 40,702 cases reported by the end
of September 1993 (Department of Health and Human Services, 1993). Some
data indicate women are becoming infected at an earlier age and have a
shorter survival time than men. The authors provide a background to the
female epidemic, discuss the unique pathophysiologic progress of HIV
disease in women, and present the sociocultural and economic issues that
contribute to women's risk. Nurses must become knowledgeable of the
issues directly impacting on women in order to provide appropriate
education, counseling, care, and leadership to women.
