4 WHY PARALLEL PATHS?  Women have sexual and reproductive health needs related to HIV testing and prevention Routine HIV Testing Prevention Counseling Linkages to HIV Care, if Infected  Women Living with HIV have sexual and reproductive health needs Pregnancy Prevention Pregnancy Planning Basic GYN Care STI Testing and Treatment Prenatal Care Abortion Horton, Gettings, and Marshall, (2009).

5 LEARNING OBJECTIVES: AFTER TODAY’S PRESENTATION THE LEARNER WILL: 1. Discuss the reproductive life needs of persons living with HIV and demonstrate the ability to assist patients to develop an effective reproductive life plan. 2. Explain to patients the most effective contraception options and the specific drug interaction between HAART and hormonal birth control methods. 3. Provide counseling tips regarding pregnancy options for persons living with HIV in a non-directive way including healthy preconception practices. 4.

51 PRECONCEPTION COUNSELING FOR WOMEN LIVING WITH HIV  Ideal for ALL women of childbearing age  Should include discussion of the following: Method of becoming pregnant Maternal health Reducing the risk of transmission to baby Management of baby exposed to ARV Monitoring for infant to determine HIV status Management if baby is HIV+ Child guardian if parent becomes ill or dies How and when to disclose HIV+ status to child DHHS 2008; ACOG 2010; Aaron & Criniti 2007

54 All individuals seeking fertility assistance should be tested for HIV If individual is HIV +, couple should be counseled on donor sperm, adoption, or not having children. HIV is a chronic, manageable disease and expected life span can be near normal If individual is HIV +, couple should be counseled on ways to plan a pregnancy while significantly decreasing risk of HIV transmission to HIV – partner and/or child(ren).

55 Women seeking pregnancy should weigh her desire for childbearing against the potential harm to an infected child Physicians should weigh the moral appropriateness of any medical treatment Physicians should be prepared to have detailed discussions about how to plan a pregnancy to avoid HIV transmission Artificial insemination, although not guaranteed to have no risk, is endorsed as a way to avoid transmission AMERICAN COLLEGE OF OBSTETRICIANS AND GYNEGOLOGISTS [ACOG] 1993 December 2012
