Abstract

Anti-HIV Agents - administration & dosage Anti-HIV Agents - therapeutic use Female Health Plan Implementation HIV Infections - prevention & control Humans Infectious Disease Transmission, Vertical - prevention & control Male Postnatal Care Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Pregnancy
Pregnancy is a high-risk period for HIV acquisition in African women, and pregnant women who become acutely infected with HIV account for up to a third of vertical HIV transmission cases in African settings. To protect women and eliminate vertical transmission, WHO recommends offering oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) based on tenofovir to HIV-negative pregnant and post-partum women with a substantial risk of HIV acquisition. PrEP implementation for pregnant and post-partum women lags behind implementation for other high-risk populations. Unique considerations for PrEP implementation arise during pregnancy and post partum, including the integration of provider training with clinical delivery and monitoring of PrEP exposure and outcomes within existing maternal health systems, yet scarce implementation data are available to generate evidence in this context.
