characteristics of neonatal outcomes of HIV-infected mothers with the use of antiretrovirals (ARVS)

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of the scoping review is to find out the characteristics of neonatal outcomes of HIV-infected mothers with antiretroviral use. Design: Writing a scoping review following the writing rules of PRISMA ScR. Method: The results of the review show that there are 10 articles obtained from the search process through the Proquest, Pubmed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar databases. As well as following the criteria for inclusion and exclusion. Results: This review raises the theme of outcomes from HIV pregnant women with antiretroviral use before conception and after conception. The administration of ARVs in pregnancy causes various kinds of neonatal outcomes, namely babies born normally, babies with lightweight, babies born prematurely, abortions, IUFD and babies infected with HIV. It was concluded that there is an impact of giving ARVs to pregnant women, but prevention of vertical transmission by taking ARVs immediately and routinely is better done to reduce the incidence of HIV transmission. Conclusion: Factors causing babies born with BBLR, premature, IUFD, and abortion are not necessarily due to factors of ARV use in pregnant women.
