    Nearly 70% of Mexican women with Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are of reproductive age. This study details the obstetric and perinatal outcomes for 19 HIV-positive pregnant women in Mexico City.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disproportionately affects women of reproductive age in Mexico.
    • Sexual transmission is the primary route of HIV infection among these women.
    • Understanding obstetric and perinatal outcomes is crucial for managing HIV in pregnancy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the obstetric course and perinatal outcomes for HIV-positive pregnant women.
    • To analyze the transmission of HIV from mother to child in a Mexican population.
    • To evaluate the health status of newborns born to HIV-positive mothers.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective study of 19 HIV-positive pregnant women.
    • Data collected from January 1994 to December 1996 at Instituto Nacional de Perinatología, Mexico City.

  • Analysis of obstetric parameters and perinatal outcomes, including infant HIV status.

    • Main Results:

    • 16 out of 19 women acquired HIV through sexual transmission.
    • 18 infants were born at term with a mean birth weight of 3159g.
    • 22% (4 out of 18) of infants were diagnosed with HIV, with all dying within their first year.

    Conclusions:

    • HIV infection in pregnant women poses significant risks for perinatal transmission and infant mortality.
    • Early diagnosis and management are critical for improving outcomes in HIV-positive pregnancies.
    • Further research is needed to reduce mother-to-child transmission rates of HIV in Mexico.
