Meaningful Involvement of Women Living With HIV/AIDS (MIWA) in the Design
and Delivery of HIV/AIDS Services." Health care for women
international ahead-of-print
(2014): 1-29.



Abstract: The Meaningful Involvement of Women Living with HIV/AIDS (MIWA)
is a key feature of women-centred HIV care, yet little is known about
transforming MIWA from principle to practice. Drawing on focus group data
from the Canadian HIV Women’s Sexual and Reproductive Health Cohort Study
(CHIWOS), we explored HIV-positive women’s meaningful involvement in the
design and delivery of HIV/AIDS services in British Columbia, Canada. In
this paper, we highlight the benefits and tensions that emerge as women
traverse multiple roles as service users and service providers within their
care communities, and the impact this has on their access to care and
overall health.
