Abstract

The commentary reviews similarities between the American and the European perspective of the HIV spread, with particular emphasis on the British mode of transmission among women. Social perceptions of the female role are seen as contributing to the difficulties experienced by British women who are HIV positive. Although there are numerous ongoing programs to assist and support HIV-infected women, the projection of an increased incidence in the spread of HIV among the heterosexual population is one that needs to be addressed. This is recognized as an issue that will reveal the needs of this new infected population and will in turn decide the necessary revisions of all existing programs that offer help and assistance to women. The commentary acknowledges the value of the American-designed peer counseling and leadership training and suggests that international (PCLT) program implementation might be considered.
