Heterosexual women are not the typical demographic that is targeted in HIV research and treatments.  But their risk factors for HIV are different and require unique methods to address.  Bruce and clinical HIV Specialist™ Dr. William R. Short discuss the needs of women and HIV with a focus on women who are pregnant or may become pregnant.
