Women, inequality, and the burden of HIV

Article Abstract:

The spread of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) among women has sociopolitical and biological roots that arise from the inequity between the sexes, societies' class structures, and the inaccessibility of health care. It is suggested that physicians must advocate a multidisciplinary approach to treatment and prevention that would address women's life circumstances along with their medical needs so that HIV-infected women would be able to obtain and benefit optimally from appropriate treatment.

Chronic vulvovaginal candidiasis

Article Abstract:

The problem for both patients and physicians is that although complicated candida vulvoaginitis affects only a small proportion of cases of candidiasis, it leads to a substantial percentage of the total physician visits, because the symptoms and the disease usually clear only with very specific therapy or repeated treatment. The optimal duration of suppressive therapy is unknown and the pathophysiology of chronic, recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis remains unclear.

Cultural competence - marginal or mainstream movement?

Article Abstract:

Educational efforts in "cultural competence" have emerged, with the aim of providing physicians with the knowledge and skills to address "cross cultural" challenges in clinical encounters cultural competence is not a panacea that will single-handedly improve health outcomes and eliminate disparities, but a necessary set of skills for physicians who wish to deliver high-quality care to all patients.
