More Information About the OAR-ORWH Collaboration to Advance Research on HIV and Women

OAR’s signature program on HIV and women is a partnership with ORWH. The program aims to promote the NIH vision for women’s health where all women – including transgender women and individuals assigned female at birth – receive evidence-based, gender-affirming, tailored HIV prevention, care, and treatment. This program also supports women in science careers to reach their full potential.  

OAR and ORWH recently launched an NIH HIV and Women Working Group to identify gaps and priorities at the intersection of women’s health and HIV.
