Abstract
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.
