AIDS, the female patient, and the family physician
Abstract
Women constitute the most rapidly growing population with human immunodeficiency virus infection in Canada. Problems unique to women and related to HIV include gynecological disorders such as recurrent candidiasis, cervical dysplasia, and neoplasia. Women also face unique psychosocial issues related to their socioeconomic status, pregnancy, and sex. This article addresses these issues.
