Women living with HIV have unique needs and care considerations that shift throughout the stages of life. It is critically important that the treatment and care for women is holistic and tailored to individual needs.

Sometimes, important considerations for women living with HIV can be overlooked — stage of life, other medical conditions, emotional and social support. Every woman has the right to quality care.

IAPAC, community advocates and medical experts worked together to create useful tools to help improve the patient-provider relationship, experience and care.

Use the links below to access resources that can be used by both people living with HIV and healthcare providers. Each tool has been designed to address the unique needs of women that arise during the various stages of life. The user guides were developed to help you get the most out of the tools. To help with complicated medical terms, the glossary was developed.
