Management of HIV in pregnancy

Key areas discussed in this review include antenatal management of the mother (particularly pharmacological management), obstetric management, pharmacological treatment for the neonate and infant feeding. Due to progress made in both in HIV testing, and in the way all patients with HIV in the UK are managed over the last few decades, most women who present with HIV in pregnancy are aware of their diagnosis and on treatment. However, it is not entirely uncommon for women to be diagnosed in pregnancy and it is these cases that present the greater challenge. The cases in this review cover the most common scenarios encountered.
