More women than ever before are both human immunodeficiency virus infected and menopausal, because of increased survival and more frequent diagnosis in older women. Such a woman has the combined burden of her infection, its treatment, comorbid conditions, and aging. Thus, she is at risk for a variety of problems, such as disorders of bone mineral density and deficiencies in cognitive functioning. In addition to this, she experiences menopause in a unique fashion, with more symptoms and perhaps at an earlier age. The clinician caring for her must take a proactive approach to this multitude of factors that may affect her health and well-being.
现在，越来越多的女性同时患有人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）和处于绝经期，这是因为女性患者的存活率提高了，老年女性的诊断也更加频繁。这些女性不仅承受着感染、治疗、合并症和衰老的综合负担，还面临着各种问题，如骨密度紊乱和认知功能减退。除此之外，她们还会以独特的方式经历更年期，出现更多的症状，而且可能更早进入更年期。照顾这些女性的临床医生必须积极应对这些可能影响她们健康和福祉的多种因素。
