Reproductive Health
Women with HIV tend to have problems related to reproductive
health, including changes to their menstrual cycle or absence of periods.
Bacterial and yeast infections may be more common in women who are HIV-positive.
There is an increased risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including chlamydia, trichomoniasis, gonorrhea, and the human papillomavirus (HPV), which can lead to genital warts or even cervical cancer. HIV-positive women are also more prone to pelvic inflammatory diseases (PID) that may be resistant to treatment.
