Abstract

We report 3 cases of advanced abdominal pregnancy in HIV-positive women managed at the East London Hospital complex between 2005 and 2009. Despite the complexity of diagnosis and management of this life-threatening condition, no adverse effects occurred in the women in our series and 2 of the babies survived.
