Menopause

Is managing menopause different for people with HIV/AIDS?

In Menopause and HIV: Taking Care of Yourself, submitted on 08 December 2022, the (United Kingdom) Well Project elaborate on:

“Each woman experiences the transition or “change” of menopause differently. It is important to remember that menopause is a normal, natural process. Menopause may signal the end of your fertility (ability to get pregnant), but it is not the end of your femininity or sexuality. Some women experience symptoms that are mild and tolerable. For others, the symptoms are so bad that they affect their quality of life. You are the person who should decide about treatment options. Discuss your concerns and questions with your health care provider. He or she can help you weigh the risks and benefits of each option”.
