This co-infection is particularly serious in pregnancythrough the following consequences: coagulation disor-ders caused by both diseases, as well as by the antiretro-viral treatment (by pancytopenia, thrombocytopenia),and modification of uterine contractility through theintervention in contractile protein metabolism and sec-ondary anemia, found in all cases.Association with hepatic cytolysis and hepatocellular

failure is the rule. In this association, hysterectomynecessary for hemostasis in some cases was imperative.In our practice, we have encountered the HIV-hepati-

tis association in 30% of cases.At birth, HIV/AIDS and hepatitis co-infection is a

major risk factor for the mother, requiring total hyster-ectomy for hemostasis in 16.6% of the cases.
