Consolidated Guideline on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights of Women Living with HIV
Date of Publication
2017This guideline is meant to help countries to more effectively and efficiently plan, develop and monitor programmes and services that promote gender equality and human rights and hence are more acceptable and appropriate for women living with HIV, taking into account the national and local epidemiological context. It discusses implementation issues that health interventions and service delivery must address to achieve gender equality and support human rights.
The starting point for this guideline is the point at which a woman has learned that she is living with HIV, and it, therefore, covers key issues for providing comprehensive SRHR-related services and support for women living with HIV. As women living with HIV face unique challenges and human rights violations related to their sexuality and reproduction within their families and communities, as well as from the health-care institutions where they seek care, particular emphasis is placed on the creation of an enabling environment to support more effective health interventions and better health outcomes.
This guideline aims to provide:
- Evidence-based recommendations for the SRHR of women living with HIV in all of their diversity, with a particular focus on settings where the health system has limited capacity and resources
- Good practice statements on key operational and service delivery issues that need to be addressed to
- Increase access to, uptake of, and the quality of outcomes of sexual reproductive health (SRH) services
