HIV INFECTION AS A FACTOR IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF OBSTETRIC AND PERINATAL COMPLICATIONS
Abstract
The growth of HIV infection among women of reproductive age, despite the intensified preventive fight, is an urgent problem of modern health care. HIV infection is a risk factor for the development of preterm birth and perinatal complications. Timely prevention of the occurrence of disorders in the feto-placental system helps to improve the outcome of pregnancy and childbirth in this group of patients. In order to study the impact of HIV infection on the development of gestational and perinatal complications, a comparative analysis of the course of pregnancy and childbirth, as well as the postpartum period, was carried out. The main group consisted of 48 pregnant women with an established HIV-positive status, who were given a set of measures to prevent complications of gestation. The comparison group - a retrospective analysis - consisted of 119 respondents with HIV infection who were delivered in maternity complexes in 2018-2021. Conducted general clinical, mandatory obstetric instrumental and laboratory, as well as special research methods. <strong>Keywords:</strong> pregnancy, HIV infection, gestational complications, perinatal complications.
