In Their Own Words: The Current State of Women and HIV, Leslie Hanna, Bulletin of Experimental Treatment for AIDS (BETA), 2003
This article reports the findings when seven health care professionals, advocates, and HIV-positive women respond to the question, "What do you consider to be the most important treatment or health issues facing women with HIV today?" Their responses include discussions of the medical and psychological needs in women with HIV, challenges to establishing and maintaining appropriate treatment for HIV-positive women, the need to eliminate stigma as a barrier to health care, and the need for more clinical studies focused on women, particularly with regard to the effects of antiretroviral drugs.
