Abstract

The author reflects on various issues associated with preterm delivery in women suffering from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Mother-to-child transmission is a major source of HIV transmission in children which can be significantly reduced through the widespread usage of combination antiretroviral therapy (ART). He also discusses a study conducted by Jeanne Sibiude from the French Perinatal Cohort concerned with the efficacy of ART in HIV-positive pregnant women.
