The Journey Continues - Women living with HIV/AIDS in Australia
The HIV Futures 4 survey was completed by 1064 HIV positive Australians from all states and territories, of whom 96 (9.0%) were women. This represents approximately 8.0% of HIV positive women in Australia. There was a wide age range, with a mean of 40.5 years and a median of 39.5 years. The majority of women were Australian born (73.7%). Two women (2.1%) indicated they were of
Aboriginal/Torres Strait Island origin.
