Q

what is the standard for diagnosing HIV during pregnancy

A

The standard approach to diagnosing HIV infection during pregnancy is by multistep serology testing
1st step- screening for HIV antibodies using an enzyme immunoassay
If the enzyme immunoassay is reactive the sample is re-tested using a more specific confirmatory test for HIV antibodies (western blot)

Q

If HIV test results are positive for mother or infant, infant antiretroviral prophylaxis should be initiated when?

A

If test results are positive for mother or infant, infant antiretroviral prophylaxis should be initiated immediately and no later than 72 hours post-delivery
Breastfeeding should be deferred until the confirmatory HIV antibody test result is available and proves negative

Q

If a mother tests positive for HIV antibody what test should be done on the baby?

A

HIV (DNA or RNA) PCR within 48 hours of birth
if positive then prophylaxis should be stopped and antiretroviral treatment intitiated
