Out of focus: tailoring the cascade of care to the needs of women living with HIV.
HIV Medicine 2017 September
Around half of the global adult HIV-positive population are women, yet historically women have been under-represented in clinical studies of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and there has been minimal exploration of gender-specific factors related to the response to and appropriateness of treatment choices in women living with HIV (WLWH). There are several key issues pertaining to the cascade of HIV care that make it important to differentiate WLWH from men living with HIV. Factors that are gender specific may impact on the status of WLWH, affecting access to diagnosis and treatment, optimal clinical management, ART outcomes, retention in care, and the overall long-term wellbeing of WLWH. In this review, we discuss the results of recently reported women-only clinical trials and highlight the key unmet needs of WLWH as they pertain to the cascade of HIV care across World Health Organization European Region countries. As significant knowledge gaps remain, the review identifies key areas where further research is required, in order to support improved management of WLWH and guide informed clinical decision-making, including addressing psychosocial factors as part of comprehensive care.
