AB The number and proportion of women infected with the human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and with the acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome (AIDS) have increased rapidly throughout the last decade.
Despite these increases, the scientific community has focused limited
research attention on women living with HIV infection. Data from studies
of predominantly gay/bisexual men may not reliably be extended to women;
studies of the natural history of HIV infection in women are needed.
Obstetrician-gynaecologists are increasingly called upon to diagnose HIV
infection in women and provide care in both clinical and research
settings. In this review we discuss the serodiagnosis of HIV infection
in women; the impact of pregnancy on HIV disease progression;
transmission of HIV infection from mother to offspring; gynaecological
infections and malignancies which may manifest differently in
HIV-infected women; and clinical care of women living with HIV.
