Abstract | Recommendations for the use of antiretroviral drugs in pregnant women infected with HIV-1 and for reducing perinatal HIV-1 transmission are presented. This report provides health-care providers with information for discussion with HIV-1 infected pregnant women to enable such women to make an informed decision regarding the use of antiretroviral drugs during pregnancy. Various circumstances that commonly occur in clinical practice are presented as scenarios. Pregnancy is not a reason to defer standard therapy, which should be discussed with and offered to HIV-1 infected pregnant women. Additionally, to prevent perinatal transmission zidovudine chemoprophylaxis should be incorporated into the antiretroviral regimen. | |
