[Epidemiology and clinical aspects of the HIV-infected female].
The data available for the epidemiology of AIDS and HIV infection among women in the Federal Republic of Germany describe the distribution of risk groups to urban areas. The highest rates of seroprevalence are found in cities like Berlin, Munich and Frankfurt. These data do not support the initial fear of an explosive heterosexual spread in the female population. Since 1986 the incidence of pregnancies of HIV-infected women in Berlin has remained constant. The number of pregnancies carried to full term decreased because of an increased number of terminations. Another growing problem are gynecological complaints, depending on the duration of the HIV infection, ranging from repeated infectious diseases of the genitals to cervical cancer.
