摘要:

ABSTRACTHIV infection in women is a problem of growing magnitude and concern in the United States. Midwives, as primary care women's health care providers, must be fully informed about the scope of HIV infection in women in order to provide appropriate education and care to their patients. This article reviews the epidemiology and transmission of HIV infection as they pertain to women including issues of perinatal and breast milk transmission. The natural history of vertically acquired pediatric HIV infection is also discussed.

摘要:

ABSTRACTHuman immunodeficiency virus‐1 infects and damages or destroys several types of cells, most importantly helper/inducer (CD4 +) lymphocytes. In the majority of infected persons, the loss of CD4+ lymphocytes leads to a progressive reduction in both cell mediated and antibody mediated immunity. Early during infection most adults are asymptomatic, but after several years many develop symptoms representing a moderate degree of immune suppression. Eventually, most of these individuals become susceptible to the life‐threatening opportunistic infections and cancers which define the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Recent advances in management, including earlier diagnosis, the use of maintenance or suppressive therapies, and specific anti‐retroviral therapy with zidovudine (AZT) has nearly doubled the life expectancy for persons with AIDS. Clinical trials of new drugs, sometimes in combination with AZT, are underway. Vaccine development is proceeding, but many obstacles must be overcome before a successful vaccine can be ident

摘要:

ABSTRACTA growing percentage of people in the United States who have been diagnosed with AIDS are women, and it has been estimated that a much larger proportion of asymptomatic carriers of the virus are female. Most women who have been infected are heterosexually active and of childbearing age. This article presents an overview of the management of the pregnant, HIV infected woman within the framework of nurse‐midwifery practice, and outlines principles for the management of the birth and newborn infan

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe use of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody test for women of child‐bearing age is discussed. Serological tests used to determine HIV status are reviewed. Practitioners should be aware of the legal and ethical issues involved in testing. Psychological responses to knowledge of test results are considered. The goal of the counseling session is to provide sufficient information for the woman to make an informed decision about reproductive choices. The format and content of pre‐ and post‐test sessions are outlined, and checklists that may assist the practitioner in post‐test counseling appear in the App

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe ability of the legal system to respond to the challenges of HIV positivity and AIDS has been somewhat limited. Nevertheless, there have been state and federal initiatives which have affected nurse‐midwifery practice to a degree unrecognized by many in practice. Areas of particular relevance to practice have been identified and discussed in a practical wa
