Rose (and anyone else interested),
     There is a book that came out late last fall called "Women AIDS and
Activism".  In it there are  places to contact which could help you, but the
irony of your question is that women die faster because clinical trials are
not being done on them (at least not nearly in the volumn as trials with men),
so it is likely that you won't be able to get the information you want.  From
my work with act up, I can tell you that PID is a common opportunistic
infection in women, and that is why they die faster (they aren't diagnosed
with AIDS due to problems in CDC definitions).  This is rather disjionted, but
the book is an excellent source of information.
