Abstract
Despite increasing numbers of heterosexually transmitted HIV-infected women and high numbers of female i.v.-drug users within HIV-infected population the subject of HIV-infection in women has been of low interest during the past years in Germany. This prospective study investigated the economic, social and psychological situation with regard to the special situation of this group. While there was no difference in clinical parameters we found a worse economic situation of HIV-positivity in women. Concerning the psychosocial situation there were few differences, but HIV-infected women sought help by voluntary workers more often. Specific education and socioeconomic support of HIV-infected women are conditions for the success of antiretroviral therapy of HIV-infection which has recently become more demanding and complex.
