Treatment Change in Pregnancy Is a Significant Risk Factor for Detectable HIV-1 RNA in Plasma at End of Pregnancy

Abstract

Treatment changes in pregnancy significantly increase the risk of an incomplete viral suppression at the end of pregnancy. In HIV-infected women of childbearing age, proper preconception care, which includes the preferential prescription of regimens with the best safety profile in pregnancy, is likely to prevent an incomplete viral suppression at the end of pregnancy.
