title: Menstruation, menopause, and HIV.
abstract: There is a growing need for research about the effects of HIV on the menstrual cycle and menopause. HIV positive women and their care providers need to know what to expect at all life stages, and need strategies for optimal long-term care in the HAART era. Once the impact of HIV on menopause is better understood, clinical management can be individually tailored to avoid long-term complications such as osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease.
