HIV infection in people who are pregnant remains a significant public health challenge. For all individuals with HIV, antiretroviral therapy (ART) should be initiated at HIV diagnosis and continued indefinitely. In 2021, approximately 19.7 million of the 38.4 million people worldwide living with HIV were females older than 15 years, and approximately 79% were of childbearing age. Each year, about 1.3 million people with HIV worldwide (and about 5000 in the US) give birth.
