Abstract:

Reproductive health providers serve millions of women in developing countries now at the center of the global HIV pandemic and are increasingly reaching out to young people and to men. As such, they are poised to play an important role in reducing the incidence of new HIV infections over the coming years. Policymakers, donors, researchers and activists should recognize the benefits of supporting the filler integration of HIV prevention efforts with reproductive health services. (excerpt)
