Voices from the Field

This report was written by Janet Fleischman, senior associate of the CSIS HIV/AIDS Task Force and chair of the gender committee. It is based on the presentations and discussions at the CSIS conference held on October 30, 2007, “Integrating Reproductive Health and HIV/AIDS Services: Lessons from the Field for PEPFAR Reauthorization,” as well as Fleischman’s visits to Kenya, South Africa, and India in 2007 and her interviews with U.S. administration officials, congressional staff, HIV/AIDS organizations and service providers, reproductive health organizations, and women living with HIV/AIDS.
