Women with HIV and AIDS were largely ignored by the public, government, and medical establishment. In the late 1980s, Katrina Haslip, an AIDS activist, helped found an organization for women with HIV and AIDS in prison. She continued her advocacy outside of prison, demanding recognition and dignity for women with AIDS.
