This publication addresses the specific sexual and reproductive health (SRH) needs of women living with HIV and AIDS. The authors argue that improving women’s SRH, treating HIV infections and preventing new ones are important factors in reducing poverty and promoting the social and economic development of communities and countries. SRH services are uniquely positioned to address each of these factors.
