Introduction: HIV can greatly impact the quality of life of pregnant women and may cause adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as preterm birth (PB) and mother-to-child transmission (MTCT). The purpose of this study was to analyse the influencing factors of PB and MTCT in HIV-positive pregnant women.

Methods: HIV-positive pregnant women in Henan Province between January 2016 and December 2022 were selected for the study. Data were collected through the Management Information System for the Prevention of MTCT of HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B. Information on their demographic and clinical characteristics, treatment status and pregnancy outcomes was collected. A logistic regression model and χ automatic interaction detector (CHAID) decision tree model were used to analyse the correlation factors of PB and MTCT.

Results: The average age of the 1073 study participants was 28.44 years, with an incidence of 11.93% for PB and 6.71% for MTCT. Hepatitis B virus or hepatitis C virus coinfection (OR=3.686, 95% CI 1.630 to 8.333) and Han nationality (OR=0.426, 95% CI 0.194 to 0.936) were risk factors for PB. Unknown HIV infection prior to pregnancy (OR=2.006, 95% CI 1.233 to 3.264) and primipara (OR=5.125, 95% CI 1.202 to 21.849) were risk factors for MTCT. The CHAID decision tree model was used to screen for the six and two influencing factors of PB and MTCT in HIV-positive women, respectively.

Conclusion: Early HIV testing, scientific counselling, precise maternal HIV infection assessment and targeted prevention measures can help prevent PB and MTCT in HIV-positive pregnant women.

Background: Immunisation in pregnancy against pertussis can reduce severe disease in infancy. There are few data on the safety and immunogenicity of vaccines given to pregnant women living with HIV and their infants. We aimed to describe the safety and immunogenicity of a tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (TdaP) vaccine containing genetically detoxified pertussis toxin given to pregnant women living with HIV and the effect of the vaccine on infant whole-cell pertussis vaccine responses.

Background: Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) aged 15-24 years are more likely to acquire HIV than their male counterparts, and well-targeted prevention interventions are needed. We developed a method to quantify the risk of HIV acquisition based on individual risk factors and population viral load (PVL) to improve targeting of prevention interventions.

Setting: This study is based on household health survey data collected in 13 sub-Saharan African countries, 2015-2019.

Background: Reducing perinatal HIV transmission and optimizing maternal and child health (MCH) outcomes in high HIV prevalence settings is an urgent, but complex, priority. Extant interventions over-emphasize individual-level provider and patient behaviors, and neglect critical health systems-level changes. The 'Integrated Management Team to Improve Maternal-Child Outcomes (IMPROVE)' study implemented a three-part, patient-centered, health-systems-level intervention to improve MCH and HIV outcomes in Lesotho.

Background: HIV self-testing (HIVST) offers a novel solution for increasing HIV testing among pregnant and postpartum women and their male partners, especially in low-resource settings. These groups often face barriers such as stigma, fear, and limited access to traditional HIV-testing services.

Methods: We reviewed qualitative and quantitative studies focusing on HIVST implementation in both public and private healthcare settings among pregnant and postpartum women and male partners in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), analyzed uptake, male involvement, and barriers.
