Already existing in 37 million people worldwide,
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) tends to
affect more people and, thus, it has become
a significant health problem. Turkey is one
of the countries where HIV infection is rarely
seen. Transmission is vertical at %90 of HIV (+)
infants and perinatal transmission of HIV has
been reduced to less than 1% with the use of
antiretroviral drugs. The risk of complications
related with this prophylactic treatment
might be accepted when relatively higher
morbidity and mortality of HIV infection is
considered. Meanwhile close follow-up of
patients is required due to possible toxicity.
The transmission of HIV into newborns can be
prevented with appropriate management of
the perinatal period. This report describes the
perinatal management of two newborns that
were delivered by HIV (+) mothers.
