HIV infection in pregnant women and its challenges for the prenatal care

Abstract: Objective: To analyze the epidemiological profile of HIV infections in pregnant women. Methods: Analytical study with a quantitative approach. Results: The HIV rate in pregnant women increased from 1.5/1000 babies born alive, in 2010, to 3.3/1000 in 2017. There was a significant association between the prenatal and the variables educational level (p<0.0001), occupation (p=0.0105), gestational age (p < 0.0001), and type of delivery (p < 0.0001). The mean rate of adherence to the antiretroviral treatm… Show more

“…The increase in number of HIV cases in this population confirms the need to redefine programmatic actions in the state and recognize the constraints of female vulnerability in the context of HIV/AIDS (12) . Infection is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes and all pregnant women living with HIV, regardless of their clinical stage, should receive a combination of antiretroviral drugs to suppress maternal viral load and prevent VT (13) .…”

“…Estudos mostram que quanto maior o grau de escolaridade da gestante maior a sua adesão aos tratamentos necessários e ao pré-natal por assimilar melhor as informações recebidas (Pacheco et al, 2020). A compreensão dos riscos é imprescindível para a reflexão sobre a adoção ou não de medidas preventivas e negociação nas relações sexuais (Trindade et al, 2021).…”

“…No que se refere à TV, sabe-se que a gravidez é um momento singular na vida da mulher, pois ocorrem muitas mudanças biológicas, psicológicas e sociais, além da grande preocupação materna em gerar um bebê saudável. Isso tudo é intensificado quando a gestante vivencia o HIV, uma vez que a doença envolve, muitas vezes, conflitos pessoais, familiares, sentimentos de medo e insegurança, principalmente, quando se descobre o diagnóstico tardiamente, durante a triagem pré-natal (Trindade et al, 2021). Dessa forma, a mulher descobre concomitantemente, o diagnóstico da infecção e da gestação.…”

“…In our study, most pregnant women were already aware of the HIV diagnosis before prenatal care (72%); however, the percentage of pregnant women who received the diagnosis in prenatal care or at delivery was still high, and was even greater in the loss to follow-up group (34.7% versus 24%). Barriers to HIV testing in primary care have been documented [53][54][55], so the possibility of HIV testing during prenatal care appears to be an opportunity to improve care. This would be an alert for health professionals.…”
