Differences in postpartum morbidity in women who are infected with the human immunodeficiency virus after elective cesarean delivery, emergency cesarean delivery, or vaginal delivery.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of elective cesarean delivery on postpartum morbidity in women who are infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Study Design: We performed a retrospective study of 401 women who were infected with HIV who were delivered in a single reference center from 1989 through 1999. Women who had cesarean deliveries (n = 201), of which 109 were elective and 92 were emergency, were compared with a group of women who were delivered vaginally (n = 200), composed of the women who were infected with HIV preceding each cesarean delivery.
