Pregnancy in HIV-Positive Women in the UK

Researchers found that more women sought out HIV care and became pregnant over time in their national cohorts. Older women were less likely to get pregnant, as well as those with CD4 counts less than 200 cells/mm. Authors recommend an increase in medical care for HIV-positive women as the number of HIV-positive women planning a pregnancy increases over time.
