Concept information
Preferred term
AIDS and pregnancy
Definition
- As the HIV epidemic becomes increasingly feminized and concentrated among young people, the reproductive health rights and needs of HIV-positive women and their children are becoming more of an urgent health concern. While the mother herself faces only a small risk of increased morbidity due to HIV during pregnancy, mother-to-child HIV transmission has been a major source of new infections in the past.
