Grant Title: Special Care Center for Women with HIV.
Project Period: 10/94-09/99.
Description: Washington University School of Medicine will develop a special care unit for women with HIV to integrate services for women in a 12 county area around St. Louis. Early intervention and treatment would be promoted to involve women in the area who are not presently seeking services. The integrated services will include pediatric services. Case management will be used to coordinate all services and appointments while attempting to assure compliance with medication and medical regimens. The intended results are to identify women with HIV at an earlier stage, increase access to service and clinical trials, provide support services, decrease preventable opportunistic infections and vertical HIV transmission and improve quality of life.
