“…Considering the potential advantages of RAL noted above, it remains to be determined whether its ability to rapidly reduce VL in late pregnancy will reduce the need for Caesarean delivery and the rate of perinatal transmission for women who present near term with high VL. This would benefit HIV-infected women, particularly those with low CD4 cell counts, considering the increased risk of postpartum complications related to Caesarean delivery ( 35 , 36 ). An important factor to consider, however, is the availability of rapid HIV quantitative test to follow the VL and allow for a safe vaginal delivery.…”
