HIV During Pregnancy, Labor and Delivery, and After Birth
This series of fact sheets is intended for women who are HIV positive and pregnant or have recently given birth. These fact sheets describe the steps an HIV positive pregnant woman can take to preserve her health and prevent transmission of HIV to her baby.
These fact sheets are designed as a series but can also be used as stand-alone documents. The information in these fact sheets is based on the U.S. Public Health Service's Recommendations for Use of Antiretroviral Drugs in Pregnant HIV-1-Infected Women for Maternal Health and Interventions to Reduce Perinatal HIV-1 Transmission in the United States and Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in Pediatric HIV Infection (available at http://aidsinfo.nih.gov/guidelines).
