Abstract
Women are a special group of people who need close attention in terms of early detection of HIV. The aim of our work was to determine the effect of alcohol on the morpho-functional state of the ovaries in HIV-positive women. Sectional material from 100 women of reproductive age, who were divided into four groups according to the criteria of HIV infection and chronic alcoholism, was studied. As a result of the study, it was established that the negative impact of HIV infection can be enhanced due to alcohol abuse. A group of HIV-positive women suffering from alcoholism was defined as a special group of patients. These women needed additional attention, timely and effective medical care. Such facts were determined by the severity of pathological changes due to HIV infection, chronic alcoholism, and a combination of these factors. It was concluded that chronic alcoholism negatively affects the morpho-functional state of the ovaries of HIV-positive women. Under the influence of HIV infection, destructive, degenerative, sclerotic changes in the structure of the ovaries occur.
