Women and HIV:
PrEP and HIV Prevention for Women and Girls
PrEP and HIV Prevention for Women and Girls
Module Description Both the prevention and treatment of HIV in women present various challenges that differ from their male counterparts. Antiretroviral use impacts the female reproductive system, including the use of hormonal contraception, pregnancy and breastfeeding, and pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in women. Women also experience unique and different adverse events affecting gynecological, cardiovascular, and neurological systems. Women and girls are 2-times more likely to acquire HIV from vaginal sex compared to men and have special considerations for HIV prevention and PrEP.
