Purpose:

  • To discuss the evolving issues surrounding antiretroviral therapy in pregnancy.
  • To guide clinical decisions on managing HIV in pregnant individuals.

Summary:

  • Treatment choice should balance benefits against risks for each patient.
  • Effective antiretroviral combinations should not be withheld during pregnancy.
  • Zidovudine monotherapy with elective cesarean delivery is recommended for prevention when maternal treatment is not indicated.
  • Interdisciplinary care and open communication with the mother are crucial.
