While HIV affects everyone differently, women often face particular challenges.
Remember, as a woman with HIV you have the right to:
👉 choose when and if you tell people about your HIV status
👉 take control of your health and make your own decisions about how you live with HIV
👉 work with your doctor to choose which antiretroviral treatments you take, and the right to change treatment if it isn’t working for you
👉 a full and active sex life
👉 have children
👉 work and to make changes to the way you work
👉 high quality health care in an environment which is supportive, sensitive and free from discrimination
