Preconception care is vital to prevent unplanned pregnancies in HIV-positive women, optimize the woman's health prior to a planned pregnancy, prevent perinatal transmission, and prevent transmission to the HIV-negative partner during conception. Authors summarize important steps in preconception counseling with a healthcare provider checklist, list of HIV medications to avoid during pregnancy, and a table of interactions between HIV medications and hormonal contraceptives.
