A Guide to Primary Care of People with HIV/AIDS Chapter 12: Family Planning and Pregnancy Where should prenatal exposure cases be reported? Cases of prenatal exposure should be reported to the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry. This registry collects anonymous observational data. The Registry can be contacted at: Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry 115 N. Third St., Suite 28401 Wilmington, NC 28401 Tel: 800-258-4263 FAX: 800-800-1052 KEY POINTS All HIV-positive women of childbearing age should receive information about the impact of HIV on the course and outcome of pregnancy, the impact of pregnancy on HIV progression, and appropriate contraception to prevent unintended pregnancy. To assure early identification of pregnancy in women with HIV who are sexually active, pregnancy tests should be done whenever they have late or missed menses or other signs of possible pregnancy. Women with the potential of becoming pregnant should be tested before starting potentially teratogenic therapies such as efavirenz (EFV). Patients should be alerted on potential teratogenic effects on the fetus, and suitable contraception should be prescribed. 12 Contraceptive methods recommended for women with HIV include condoms, which also protect against STDs and prevent HIV transmission to their partners, and hormonal methods. The drug interactions between oral contraceptives and many drugs used in HIV disease make an additional means of contraception advisable in many cases. Spermicides and intrauterine devices are not recommended for use by HIV-infected women. HIV testing should be a routine part of prenatal care for all women. HIV testing should be voluntary using the “opt out” method (the HIV test is part of routine bloodwork and the woman may opt to refuse the test). Pre- and post-test HIV counseling should be provided. All pregnant women infected with HIV should receive antiretroviral therapy. Zidovudine monotherapy can be provided to untreated pregnant women with a baseline viral load of
