HIV, Women and the Health Sector
The Sophia Forum seeks to inform its supporters about issues relating to women and HIV both here in the UK and globally. These sector-specific pages are designed to guide professionals working in these sectors to relevant and up-to-date information regarding your profession and its influence on the lives of women in relation to HIV. If you have specific queries or if you know of other articles which you would like to share with us, do please contact us on info@sophiaforum.net and we will endeavour to respond as soon as we can.
