HIV and women's health
Without treatment, nearly all HIV-positive women will experience a gradual weakening of their immune systems and, over time, will have such a weak immune system that they will be vulnerable to the severe infections and cancers that define AIDS.
To prevent this, it is recommended that everybody who is HIV-positive receives regular medical monitoring.
