Consented investigations in pregnancy - HIV
• Long-term maternal outcomes are better if HIV+ status is known and treated
• Known HIV+ status allows people to practice safer sex and protect partners (if uninfected)
• Dramatically decreased risk of vertical transmission to fetus if optimally treated in pregnancy (from 25% to 2%)
• Breastfeeding contraindicated
• Diagnosis of HIV+ status can impact current and previous partner(s), family, ability to obtain health and life insurance
