On Tuesday, January 31, the Panel on Treatment of HIV in Pregnancy and Prevention of Perinatal Transmission updated its recommendations for the use of antiretroviral drugs during pregnancy and interventions to reduce perinatal transmission in the U.S. See an overview of revisions (and access the full guidelines) on NIH’s clinical information website: What’s New in the Guidelines.
Changes include updates to recommendations on infant feeding for individuals with HIV and antiretroviral prophylaxis for infants with perinatal HIV exposure. In addition, there are changes throughout the guidelines on the care of people with HIV who are pregnant or are trying to conceive.
Sections that are co-authored by the Panel on Antiretroviral Therapy and Medical Management of Children Living with HIV were also published in the Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in Pediatric HIV Infection.
Additional updates to the pediatric guidelines are anticipated to be published in April.
HRSA’s HIV/AIDS Bureau’s monthly HAB You Heard webinar will include a presentation from NIH and the Guidelines Panel on the infant feeding updates.
