Abstract
Early natural menopause was frequent among the HIV-infected women. In addition to menarche and cigarette smoking, which are menopausal factors among women in general, HIV-related immunodeficiency and chronic HCV were additional predictors for an earlier age at natural menopause. Adequate management of HIV in women is critical, as early onset of menopause has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality.
