For a long timewomen with HIV were ignored because the focus was totally on HIV men.The gaycommunity was very much in sight and vocal and successfully got support
for its cause.Now weare rapidly approaching the point where about one haff of all AIDS cases inthe. world are women. But no one is taking this dangerously high level of
infection amongwomen seriously enough.
Women usually have aworse time dealing with HIV than men do.In most cases,the woman is taking careof children as well as her sick partner. She may not even have time
to take care ofherself. The HIV-positive woman ends up shouldering the family as well as herown personal problems. Men,however,are usually the ones who have insurance
income and access todoctors.They get care.Women often do not.
The discriminationagainst HIV-positive women is simply terrible.They are likely to be moreinactive than men in the home and workplace because too many people think
that women are thecause of the disease.This is not at all true.They get it from a man.They don'tjust simply have HIV.Of course,there's a social discrimination against all
people with HIV.Theyare scared that other people will know they are HJV-positive and that theywill,therefore be discriminated against. For example,it's very difficult for
people with HIV totravel.They are not allowed to enter many countries,including the
The biggestdifficulty an HIV-positive woman must face is the isolatjon.Once the womanknows she's HIV-positive,she lives in fear that other people will findout.She's so
frightened she willgo into hiding,into an isolated place by herself. It's not at all uncommon tomeet a woman who has been HIV-positive for nearly 10 years and has never
told anyone,excepther doctor. And the resulting stress is enough to make her sick.ButHIV-positive women who get support,who can discuss their trouble and then do
something about it一whether that means taking better careof themselves or going to the United Nations to struggle for their rights一are likely to live longer. Active women
don't die out ofshame in a corner. This happens to too many HIV-positive women.
