This study assesses recent developments in management and outcomes of pregnant WLHIV at a tertiary obstetric unit in the United Kingdom.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We conducted a retrospective cohort study of WLHIV delivering at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, during 2008\u20132019. Detailed data was collected for maternal, virological, obstetric, and perinatal characteristics. To determine changes over time, data from the periods 2008\u201313 and 2014\u201319 were compared.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We identified 116 pregnancies in 94 WLHIV. Between 2008\u20132013 and 2014\u20132019, the rate of preconception HIV diagnosis increased from 73 to 90% (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.021) and the proportion of WLHIV on combination ART (cART) at conception increased from 54 to 84% (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.001). The median gestation at which cART was initiated antenatally decreased from 22+1 to 17+1 weeks (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.003). In 2014-2019, 41% of WLHIV received non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor-based cART, 37% protease inhibitor-based cART, and 22% of cART regimens contained an integrase inhibitor. The proportion of WLHIV with a viral load &amp;lt;50 copies\/mL at delivery rose from 87 to 94% (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.235). Sixty-six percent of WLHIV delivered by Cesarean section, with a significant decrease over time in the rate of both planned (62\u201339%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.016) and actual (49\u201331%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.044) elective Cesarean. Perinatal outcomes included one case of perinatal HIV transmission (0.86%), 11% preterm birth, 15% small-for-gestational-age, and 2% stillbirth. There was an association between a viral load &amp;gt;50 copies\/mL at delivery and preterm delivery (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.0004).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Virological, obstetric, and perinatal outcomes of WLHIV improved during the study period. Implementation of national guidance has led to an increase in preconception diagnosis and treatment, earlier initiation of antenatal treatment, a reduction in the number of women with a detectable viral load at delivery, and an increase in vaginal deliveries.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2022.970175","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,20]],"date-time":"2022-10-20T06:31:27Z","timestamp":1666247487000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Trends in management and outcomes of pregnant women living with HIV between 2008\u20132013 and 2014\u20132019: A retrospective cohort study"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Olivia","family":"Brandon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sujay","family":"Chakravarti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joris","family":"Hemelaar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","volume-title":"Antenatal Screening for Infectious Diseases in England: Summary Report for 2015","year":"2017"},{"key":"B2","volume-title":"HIV in the United Kingdom: Towards Zero HIV Transmissions by 2030","year":"2019"},{"key":"B3","volume-title":"British HIV Association Guidelines for the Management of HIV in Pregnancy and Postpartum 2018 (2020 Third Interim Update)","year":"2020"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1173","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199411033311801","article-title":"Reduction of maternal-infant transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 with zidovudine treatment.
