HIV Infection in Women: An Inventory of Public Health Services Initiatives

AIDS & Public Policy Journal 4, no. 2 (1989): 120-124
Agnes H. Donahue, Mary Ann Danello, and Ruth L. Kirschstein

The U.S. Public Health Service Coordinating Committee on Women's Health Issues has recognized the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to the development of policies and programs for women with and at risk for AIDS. The resources for preventing and treating AIDS must be drawn from diverse areas, and locating such services can be a difficult and frustrating task. In 1987, therefore, the coordinating committee conducted a PHS-wide survey and compiled an inventory of AIDS-related services and initiatives designed to meet the particular needs of women. To make a similar resource available to the broader community of health planners and policy makers, we will present an overview of the inventory, describing some of the key activities administered by five PHS agencies.
