title: The AIDS pandemic: a catalyst for women's rights.
abstract: The rates of HIV infection among women are rising at a higher rate than among men. After citing the reasons for women's vulnerability, this report argues the potential role of gynecologists and obstetricians through integration of HIV/AIDS into sexual and reproductive health services to strengthen the response to the epidemic.
