Institute
HIV/AIDS is a complex disease that affects every aspect
of your life — your health, your relationships, your livelihood, and your
future goals. If you have HIV, or know someone who has HIV, you are not alone.
There are many women across the world who are coping with this disease.
Although having HIV can have a devastating impact on your life, women with HIV
are living longer and stronger lives filled with love and happiness. Whether
you are at risk for getting HIV, living with HIV, or caring for a friend,
child, or other family member, you may be looking for reliable information to
help you each step of the way. The National Women's Health Information Center
(NWHIC) provides information to women and links to helpful resources.
