Gap
Interventions are needed to reduce the higher attrition rate among pregnant adolescents living with HIV, including those perinatally infected, and provide needed support by parents and others. [See also %{c:9}] Additional research may also be needed on how to best care for perinatally-infected pregnant women who have decreased virological suppression, increased risk of vertical transmission and increased challenges in remaining adherent. While currently noted in the United States, it is anticipated to be relevant to low- and middle-income countries as more perinatally-infected women give birth.

Meeting the Sexual and Reproductive Health Needs of Women Living With HIV

Women and men need accurate information on vertical transmission, treatment adherence strategies, the importance of their viral load and the low risk of vertical transmission if virally suppressed. Adherence has been challenging for women living with HIV postpartum, even for those initiating ART during pregnancy at CD4 counts under 350, with adequate adherence dropping from 75.7% during pregnancy to 53% postpartum globally (Nachega et al., 2012 cited in Coutsoudis et al., 2013). Knowledge of HIV and vertical transmission has shown to be correlated with increased initiation, adherence and retention for pregnant women living with HIV.
