Evolución de la seroprevalencia de infección por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana en madres de recién nacidos vivos en 8 comunidades autónomas (1996-2005)

Conclusions HIV prevalence in newborns’ mothers remained steady during the 10-year period, but after a phase of significant increase the tendency has reverted. Data presented in this paper show the importance of monitoring HIV prevalence among women who give birth, and emphasise the need of improving antenatal prophylaxis programmes to prevent mother-to-child transmission.
