“…We are unaware of any studies comparing HIV risk factors for pregnant women with those of non-pregnant women. However, in the Harlem study 30 , the proportion of HIV-infected pregnant women who admitted ever using injected drugs was signi® cantly lower than that for women with reported AIDS from the same city (21% vs 61%). The higher proportion of IDUs among women with AIDS may merely represent the risk factor pro® le for women acquiring HIV infection earlier in the epidemic.…”

“…Similarly, in San Francisco 36 , women with no prenatal care reported HIV risk factors more frequently and had a higher HIV seroprevalence than did prenatal clinic attendees (1.5% vs 0.7%). In western Palm Beach County 31 , the HIV seroprevalence was 14.3% 30 Black race 30,32± 35 Hispanic race 34,35 Geographic factors Residence in an urban area 33 Residence in the Northeast or Southern USA 33 Residence in New York, District of Columbia, New Jersey or Florida 34 Residence in the San Francisco Bay area 35 among women with no prenatal care compared with 5.1% among patients attending public prenatal clinics and 0.5% among private patients receiving prenatal care. In New York City, 5 of 10 HIVpositive women had received no prenatal care compared to only 14.9% of HIV-negative women 29 .…”

“…Identifying women at risk for HIV based on self-reported risk factors has become problematical in some areas. In the Harlem study 30 Obviously, for childbearing women to be offered HIV testing, they must access the health care system for prenatal care. Unfortunately, a substantial proportion of US women receive no prenatal care.…”

Worldwide, the number of childbearing women infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is rising. Early intervention can improve care for these women and reduce HIV transmission to their children. However, for intervention strategies to be effective, childbearing women at risk must be identified. HIV prevalence and risk factors vary widely from one region to another, and strategies for HIV testing must be tailored to local conditions. In this review, published data on HIV risk factors in pregnant women are presented by region, and implications for regional strategies for HIV testing in pregnant women are discussed.

“…Interestingly, two studies found that racial differentials in HIV prevalence were much more prominent in urban areas of their states than in suburban or rural communities. [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] There is conflicting evidence concerning His- "^ScJj ir1 00 panic women. Two studies in Los Angeles found low rates of HIV infection, whereas studies on the East Coast suggest higher seroprevalence.…”

Many studies have been undertaken in the last 10 years to determine the prevalence of both human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and drug use in pregnant women. These studies could have a serious impact on the delivery of health care as well as the development of health policy. We provide an overview of the key findings from these studies and a critical review of their strengths and weaknesses. For example, although many prevalence studies were conducted with enough participants to reach statistical significance, flaws in study design limit the generalizability of the findings. In addition, the development of profiles, risk groups, or characteristics was an unsuccessful method of identifying pregnant women at risk for drug use or HIV infection. These findings have implications for the type of screening procedures that are undertaken in the clinical setting and the development of health policy at various levels of government. We also conclude that the issue of stigma and discrimination in relation to drug and HIV testing, as well as race, gender, and socioeconomic status, must be addressed. Finally, we outline how these studies could have a significant effect on the health of pregnant women.

“…4 An innercity study found that newborns placed in foster care at the time of hospital discharge were 8 times more likely to have been born to HIV-infected women than were newborns discharged to the care of their mothers. 5 In addition to the increased risk of perinatally acquired HIV infection for those in foster care, children and adolescents in foster care may have been sexually abused, placing them at risk for acquisition of HIV infection. Adolescents who use drugs or are sexually active are also at risk for acquisition of HIV infection, and adolescent risky behavior may precede placement in foster care or may occur while in foster care.…”
