 AB    The epidemiology, management, and outcome of pregnancy complicated by
       HIV infection are discussed. Although lymphocyte counts may drop during
       pregnancy, HIV infection does not appear to increase the risk of
       obstetric complications and poor pregnancy outcome. Although most
       pregnant women with HIV are asymptomatic, progression of disease,
       including the development of opportunistic infections, may occur during
       gestation. Serious bacterial infections are not common unless the CD4
       count is less than 300 cells/mm3. Transmission of HIV to the neonate
       complicates approximately 30% of affected pregnancies.
