Abstract
Nurses play a crucial role in ensuring that women with HIV get appropriate treatment and care during their pregnancy. This article reviews testing in pregnancy, factors associated with perinatal transmission, guidelines for management of pregnancy, labour and delivery and for postpartum care, and the identification of high-risk women as well as strategies for intervention with pregnant women with HIV.
