AIDS HIV Epidemiology Research Study. A multisite, prospective cohort study of HIV-infected women and uninfected women reporting HIV risk behaviour
Conclusion Although both HIV-seropositive and HIV-seronegative women had high levels of use of medical services, current use of antiretrovirals and OI prophylaxis was low throughout. Therapeutic drug users used HIV-related primary health services less and were more likely to receive emergency or episodic care. IV drug users and African Americans had decreased use of medical services
