Women with HIV (WWH) were found to have an increased risk of abortion-related infection relative to women without HIV (WWoH) and those without HIV status documented. This relationship persisted even after accounting for factors such as mechanical injury on pelvic examination, a marker of the least safe methods of self-induction. Whether this complication in WWH is because of immunocompromise or behavioral characteristics requires additional investigation.
与未感染艾滋病毒的女性(WWoH)以及未记录艾滋病毒感染状况的女性相比,感染艾滋病毒的女性(WWH)发生与堕胎相关感染的风险更高。即便在考虑了诸如盆腔检查时的机械损伤(这是最不安全的自行引产方法的一个标志)等因素之后,这种关系依然存在。WWH出现这种并发症是由于免疫功能低下还是行为特征,尚需进一步调查。
