  • Title: HIV Infection in Women conference.
    Journal: AIDSlink; 1995; (32):15. PubMed ID: 12346007.
    Abstract:
    A national conference was held in the US in February 1995 on the issue of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in women. The conference took place after the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) revised the definition of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) to include invasive cervical cancer. This fact, then, acknowledged that HIV infection in women is not the same as in men. This fact also allowed researchers to focus on women and possibly develop gender-specific prevention and control measures. The conference was the forum to initiate women-specific research efforts. Collaboration in the biological, political, and socioeconomic arenas was strongly promoted. Topics addressed included scientific advancements, program development models, policy and advocacy issues, epidemiological studies, perinatal transmission, counseling, women-controlled prevention methods, and the relationship between violence against women and HIV. The conference was well attended. An address for program and abstract requests is provided.
