Indeterminate Western Blots and Pregnancy
Researchers found that although a small percentage of women had indeterminate Western blots during their pregnancies, there were no standards of care for follow-up testing during pregnancy and postpartum. A small percentage of women seroconverted during pregnancy. Researchers posit that additional studies need to be done to determine causes of increased indeterminate results during pregnancy and how to best follow-up on these results.
