HIV in Women

It is evident that, the conventional concept about HIV/AIDS being a male specific disease in its earlier days has changed now. The recent data shows that one-third of all new HIV cases occur in women. According to the reports of CDC, 19% of the new HIV diagnoses were women in 2014. According to reports 87% of these new cases were due to heterosexual sex and the rest of the 13% were due to intravenous drug use. Although HIV cases in women have significantly dropped over the years a vast majority of new HIV diagnosed women are found to be African American. HIV symptoms that can be seen in women after 2 to 4 weeks are often mistaken as common cold or flu rather than HIV. Even though it can take years for symptoms to appear in some cases, approximately 80% of individuals affected with acute HIV infection will experience flu-like symptoms.
