Vaccine at 0,1,6 months + HBIG within 24hrs of exposure
HBsAg?
Hepatitis B surface antigen
Found in serum
HBcAg?
Hepatitis B core antigen
Found in hepatocytes
HBeAg?

Indicated immunity
When is vertical transmission for hepaitis B virus highest in pregnancy?
3rd trimester
What should the infant of seropositive mother receive post delivery?
Vaccine and HBIG simultaneously within 12hrs of delivery
What is the definition of AIDS?
HIV+ and CD4 count < 200
What is the screening test for HIV?
ELISA
What is the confirmatory test for HIV?
Western blot
What is the next step if HIV testing positive?
CD4 count
viral load
HBsAg, HBCAb, CBC and LFTs
When would you perform rapid HIV testing?
Recommended for all patients presenting in labor with unknown HIV status
What should you do if there is a positive rapid HIV test when a woman presents in labor with unknown HIV status?
- Inform patient of positive result and risk to fetus
- Perform confirmatory test
- Treat for HIV until test returns
- Consider C-section if ,labor and SROM has not happened
- Postpone breastfeeding until results
What is the vertical transmission rate without treatment for HIV in pregnancy?
24%
What is the vertical transmission rate with treatment with zidovudine?
8%
What is the vertical transmission rate with treatment with zidovudine and CD?
2%

- Zidovudine 200mg TID
- CART
What is the intrapartum treatment of HIV in pregnancy?
IV zidovudine 1mg/kg until delivery
If CD planned should receive 3hrs of treatment before c-section
If viral load consistently <1000 in late pregnancy and med compliant no zidovudine needed
What is the route of delivery for HIV patient with viral load > 1000?
C-section prior to labor and ROM
What is the route of delivery for HIV patient with viral load < 1000?
Scheduled induction of labor

38 weeks
How do you classify primary HSV infection?
Antibody negative
IgM positive
How do you classify non primary 1st episode?
Antibody positive
IgM positive but don’t match each other
How do you classify recurrent HSV infection
Antibody positive
HSV positive with match
How can you diagnose HSV?
- Culture
- Clinical ID
- Serology with PCR
What is the test of choice for HSV diagnosis?
Serology with PCR
What is the risk of transmission of HSV during delivery?
Primary infection= 50%
non primary 1st episode= 33%
recurrent infection= 3%
What is the rationale for suppressive therapy for HSV during pregnancy?
Reduces risk of recurrence which reduces the need for C-section
If a patient is ruptured with active HSV lesions on presentation what mode of delivery is indicated?
If term c-section as soon as possible
If preterm expectant management and delivery based on if lesions still active at time of delivery
