title: [Women and AIDS. HIV-positive patients need special monitoring].
abstract: Worldwide, 50% of all HIV-positive persons are female. The situation is particularly dismal in Africa and Asia, in South America and in the Caribbean. Germany is confronted with a high percentage of immigrants from countries in these parts of the world, and consequently must expect to see an increasing rate of HIV-positive women from these regions. This makes programs for the management of female HIV-positive victims an urgent necessity. The present article describes a multidisciplinary concept, whose aim it is, via comprehensive preventive measures, to avoid medium- and long-term complications.
