ABSTRACT
Pre-exposure prophylaxis is a powerful HIV prevention tool that can reduce the risk of acquiring HIV by >90% from unprotected sex and >70% from injection drug use. The peripartum period is a time of heightened HIV risk, which underscores the need for HIV prevention counseling and the provision of biomedical interventions in all stages of a woman's reproductive life. It is important that women receive nonjudgmental care, have access to discussions of HIV risk, and are provided with pre-exposure prophylaxis counseling from their women's health practitioners. Obstetrician-gynecologists and other women's health providers are uniquely positioned to identify women who would benefit from pre-exposure prophylaxis and provide it in trusted clinical settings.
