title: Priority issues concerning HIV infection among women.
abstract: During the last decade, the enormous impact the global HIV epidemic was having on women's health was fully recognized. However, this recognition has not wholly extended to the domestic setting; in much of the United States, the dominant focus remains on HIV infection among men who have sex with men. The relatively low prevalence of HIV infection among U.S. women (a huge population group) versus men who have sex with men and injection drug users (much smaller groups) contributes to the perception that HIV is not a major domestic women's health consideration.
