Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus in pregnant people remains a significant public health issue worldwide. The rate of perinatal transmission is 15% to 40% but can be decreased to less than 1% with appropriate antenatal management. Previous recommendations included a protease inhibitor-based antiretroviral therapy, infant prophylaxis, performance of cesarean section for uncontrolled viremia, and the use of formula for infant feeding. However, recent updates include first line of integrase inhibitor-based regimens and supporting parental choices for safe lactation. In this review, we summarize and provide updated recommendations for the care of people living with human immunodeficiency virus during pregnancy.
