Globally, women and girls now make up more than half of all people living with HIV/AIDS. Women face several particular challenges in dealing with HIV — they may experience different illnesses and treatment side effects, for example, and women who become pregnant must take special precautions to prevent transmission of HIV to their children.
NAPWA’s Positive Women’s Network ensures that the voices of positive women are heard and valued in our national response to HIV and within our communities.
