    Abstract:
    The number of HIV positive women becoming pregnant in Ireland is increasing, with many pregnancies occurring in women from countries of high HIV prevalence. The management of such patients offers the challenge of reducing the risk of maternal-fetal transmission of HIV infection, avoiding fetal-infant toxicities, and maintaining future maternal antiretroviral options. Guidelines for the optimal management of HIV disease in pregnancy have been produced by a subgroup of the Irish Infection Society consisting of GenitoUrinary Medicine and Infectious Diseases Consultants. They are based on currently available international data and guidelines. The national guidelines offer a broad management outline for HIV positive pregnant patients. Ultimately, each patient is assessed individually by a multidisciplinary team, and a careful plan for antenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum care is determined.
