Many states in the United States report maternal-to-child transmission rates less than 1% using the current recommendations for the management of HIV-infected pregnant women. This review article summarizes the most current management guidelines in caring for HIV-infected women and their infants to prevent maternal-to-child transmission.<br /> (Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Inc.
