ABSTRACT
Considerable strides have been made in reducing the rate of perinatal human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission within the United States and around the globe. Despite this progress, preventable perinatal HIV transmission continues to occur. Adherence to HIV screening and treatment recommendations preconception and during pregnancy can greatly reduce the risk of perinatal HIV transmission. Early and consistent usage of highly active antiretroviral therapy (ART) can greatly lower the HIV viral load, thus minimizing HIV transmission risk. Additional intrapartum interventions can further reduce the risk of HIV transmission. Although the current standard is to recommend abstinence from breastfeeding for individuals living with HIV in settings where there is safe access to breast milk alternatives (such as in the United States), there is guidance available on counseling and risk-reduction strategies for individuals on ART with an undetectable viral load who elect to breastfeed.
