We demonstrate improved HIV outcomes for WLHIV after the use of a multidisciplinary perinatal care coordination team
In a single-center study in South Carolina, provision of HIV care during pregnancy by maternal-fetal medicine specialists with HIV training was effective in reducing maternal VL at delivery, but outcomes beyond the initial postpartum period did not significantly improve [9]
Summary
In a high-volume clinic in the Southeastern United States, pregnant women living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) had improved HIV outcomes up to 6 months after delivery following the introduction of a multidisciplinary perinatal care coordination team. Clinical services in the high-risk obstetric clinic were provided by a maternal-fetal medicine specialist experienced in the care of pregnant WLHIV, an obstetric nurse, and a pediatric social worker; most women did not receive separate outpatient HIV clinic visits during pregnancy.
