Abstract
This paper examines the challenges and advancements related to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in women, focusing on incidence, disparities, and reproductive health. HIV disproportionately affects Black women, with socioeconomic and health care access factors worsening outcomes. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is promising but underutilized due to awareness and accessibility issues. Contraception access and abortion care remain limited for women living with HIV, while menopause poses additional health risks. Future directions in research and policy call for expanded prevention, improved health care services, and greater support for reproductive and menopausal care, aiming to enhance health care equity and quality of life for women affected by HIV.
