Abstract
Globally, more than 16 million women are living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Each year, 600,000 children are infected, most of them through mother-to-child transmission. This review focuses on the management of HIV infection during pregnancy in developed countries in which antiretroviral therapy, scheduled cesarean delivery, and alternatives to breast-feeding are available; it discusses strategies for obtaining the best possible outcomes.Keywords
