Background

  • Risk of infection during labour is 25 to 35%, and decreases to less than 1% with appropriate care

Diagnosis

  • Up to 18 months of age, only use HIV PCR
    • In general, all infants with perinatal exposure should be checked at 14 to 21 days, 1 to 2 months, and 4 to 6 months
    • If high risk, can also check at birth and 2 to 4 weeks after stopping antiretrovirals
    • Confirm a positive result with repeat testing
  • Serology can be tested starting at 18 to 24 months
    • Before this, there is the risk of detecting maternal antibodies

Prevention

Maternal Viral Load Management of Neonate
<40 zidovudine for 4 to 6 weeks
40-999 zidovudine for 4 to 6 weeks, or combination ART
≥1000 combination ART
unknown combination ART

Selection of Antiretrovirals

  • Can either do a prophylactic regimen, or treat empirically
  • Prophylaxis is indicated for low risk of perinatal HIV transmission
    • Zidovudine monotherapy for 4 to 6 weeks
    • Duration of 4 weeks is indicated for situations where mother was on ART during pregnancy with sustained viral suppression and no concerns about adherence
  • Presumptive treatment is indicated in all other scenarios
  • A previously-recommended option was prophylaxis with combination, but this is no longer routinely done

Follow-Up

  • If any of the PCR tests is positive, then full antiretroviral therapy should be started

Infants on Prophylactic Zidovudine

  • Duration of 4 weeks is only recommended if they are at the lowest risk: mother on ART with suppressed viral load at delivery, no concerns about adherence, and received intrapartum zidovudine
