8. Vaginal Infections
Women with HIV are at risk for various vaginal infections. Sexually transmitted diseases, like genital herpes, are more common and severe in women with HIV. Vaginal yeast infections happen more frequently, especially in women with AIDS or advanced HIV.
Women with HIV are also more prone to bacterial vaginosis, a condition caused by the overgrowth of normal vaginal bacteria. These conditions can affect any woman, but they are often more severe and harder to treat in women with HIV.
