Women bear a significant burden in HIV, including increased risks for stigma or mental health disorders. Their treatment requirements can be unique when considering pregnancy and contraception. Though there are guidelines on routine monitoring, antepartum antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimens, and intra- and postpartum care, data are continuously evolving and clinicians must be aware of the most recent guidelines and treatment considerations for women. This case-based, interactive activity focuses on initiating ART during pregnancy, routine monitoring, viral suppression, considerations for delivery, contraception, and additional issues that arise for women with HIV, such as earlier menopause and low bone mineral density.

Upon completion of this program, the participant should be better able to:

• Provide guideline-based care for all women with HIV, including those who are pregnant

This activity is intended for infectious disease and HIV specialist physicians and other clinicians involved in the care of patients with HIV infection.

Estimated time to complete activity: 0.5 hours.
