TI Positive women relating their experiences of service provision within
Edinburgh.

AB OBJECTIVE: In Edinburgh 282 women are diagnosed HIV positive (at
31/1/94), approximately 100 are in touch with service providers. This
paper, presented by two HIV positive women, looks at the response to the
needs of positive women in Edinburgh, Scotland from the service users
viewpoint. METHOD: The study used a questionnaire for HIV positive women
in touch with hospital based or voluntary services asking what agencies
are used and pinpointing gaps in service provision. RESULTS: Women have
been affected by HIV and AIDS from the beginning--as carer, mother,
partner and friend. Results showed that services are still male
dominated and rarely geared towards the needs of women. CONCLUSION:
There is a need for continued research into this area to assist more
women to access services sooner rather than in times of crisis.
