eHIV Review

HIV-infection and pregnancy. Not two conditions that easily co-exist. 

Women, because of their own infection or because their child’s father is HIV-positive, worry about perinatal HIV transmission — passing the infection onto their baby. And they turn to their health care providers for advice they can trust. 

But are those HCPs aware of the changes the current data indicate? Can a woman living with HIV give birth to a healthy baby? Can she deliver vaginally, or is a C-section required for safety? Can she breastfeed, or will Child Protective Services try to take her baby away? What are the facts? 

Join us, as Dr. William R. Short from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania explains how the newer research provides answers to these and many other important questions, in this issue of eHIV Review.
