Abstract:

Objective To analyze the situation of HIV infection and blocking mother-to-child transmission in pregnant and postpartum women in Wuhu City for scientific evidences to perfect the prevention measures for HIV infection. Methods The relevant data of pregnant women infected with HIV and their children in Wuhu City were retrieved from 2011 to 2020 through the management information system for the prevention of mother to child transmission of AIDS, syphilis and hepatitis B, and then analyzed regarding the HIV related detection, demographic distribution characteristics, and prevention of mother-infant transmission. Results In total, 50 women were detected to be positive for HIV from 2011 to 2020 in Wuhu area. The average positive detection rate was 16.59/100 000. The average age of pregnant women with positive HIV findings was (29.54 ± 5.99) years. The educational background was primarily associated with junior high school (n=25, 50.00%), and the occupation was involved in housewife and unemployment (n=32, 64.00%). The main route of infection was from sexual transmission (n=28, 56.00%). Twenty-seven women (54.00%) chose to continue pregnancy with informed consent, and 21 (42.00%) terminated pregnancy. Spontaneous abortion occurred in 1 case, and another 1 lost the follow-up (2.00% respectively). Among the 27 pregnant women who continued to conceive, 17 cases (62.96%) received CD4+T lymphocyte testing, 6 cases (22.22%) received virus load testing, and 25 (92.59%) were treated with antiviral drugs. Twenty-seven infants were delivered and survived in the 27 women persisting their pregnancy. Twenty-six infants (96.30%) received antiviral drugs and 24 (88.89%) were excluded from HIV infection by detection at 18th month. Infection was uncertain in one infant, and another 2 were lost to follow. Conclusion From 2011 to 2020, the HIV testing rate and antiviral drug use rate in the pregnant women and children in Wuhu City have all met the require indicators specified in the national project. In following efforts, it is necessary to further improve the testing rate for CD4+T lymphocyte and viral load in the HIV infected pregnant women, and focus on prenatal testing and management of the pregnant women in the floating population.
