The growing number of women being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS mandates the need to focus attention on the special needs of this population. Although women have many of the same devastating physical manifestations of HIV infection as men do, they face unique psychological and social issues that influence their ability to respond to their disease in the same ways. Women with HIV/AIDS are disproportionally poor or minority women who lack resources to maintain their health. It is impossible to address HIV infection in women without considering such factors as poverty, discrimination, and gender role expectations. This article uses a biopsychosocial framework to discuss a range of specific issues affecting the health and well-being of women with HIV/AIDS.
被诊断出感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的女性人数不断增加，这就需要关注这一人群的特殊需求。虽然女性感染艾滋病毒后出现的许多身体症状与男性一样具有毁灭性，但她们面临着独特的心理和社会问题，这些问题影响着她们以同样方式应对疾病的能力。感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的女性中贫困或少数族裔女性比例过高，她们缺乏维持健康的资源。如果不考虑贫困、歧视和性别角色期望等因素，就不可能解决女性感染艾滋病毒的问题。本文采用生物心理社会框架来讨论一系列影响感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病女性健康和福祉的具体问题。
