IntroductionIntroduction

U.S. recommendations have evolved over 25 years

With universal prenatal HIV counseling and testing, ARV prophylaxis, scheduled cesarean section delivery, and avoidance of breast-feeding, perinatal HIV infection has diminished to <2% in the United States

The guidelines and slides update the July 8, 2008, recommendations

The most recent information is available from the AIDSinfo website: http://aidsinfo.nih.gov

ARVs: Mechanisms of ActionARVs: Mechanisms of Action

ARVs reduce perinatal transmission by several mechanisms:

Decreasing maternal viral load Preexposure and postexposure infant prophylaxis

Combined antepartum, intrapartum, and infant ARV prophylaxis is recommended

Page 8: U.S. Public Health Service Perinatal Guidelines Recommendations for the Use of Antiretroviral Drugs in Pregnant HIV-1-Infected Women for Maternal Health

April 20098 www.aidsetc.org

International Studies: Short-Course International Studies: Short-Course Regimens to Prevent TransmissionRegimens to Prevent Transmission

Combination ARV regimens are more effective than 1-drug therapy

Longer duration of antepartum ARV prophylaxis is more effective than shorter duration

Should start prophylaxis at least by 28 weeks

If no maternal antepartum therapy, administer ARVs during labor and delivery, and to the infant

Less effective than if antepartum ARVs also given

Page 9: U.S. Public Health Service Perinatal Guidelines Recommendations for the Use of Antiretroviral Drugs in Pregnant HIV-1-Infected Women for Maternal Health

April 20099 www.aidsetc.org

International Studies: Short-Course International Studies: Short-Course Regimens to Prevent Transmission Regimens to Prevent Transmission (2)(2)

If no maternal therapy, give postnatal infant ARV prophylaxis with a minimum of ZDV for 6 weeks

In the United States:

Adding single-dose NVP to standard combination antepartum ARV therapy is not recommended

No additional efficacy; may cause NVP resistance

Breast-feeding is not recommended for HIV-infected women (including those receiving suppressive combination ART) Safe, affordable, and feasible alternatives are available and

culturally acceptable

Transmission and Maternal HIV RNATransmission and Maternal HIV RNA

Risk of perinatal transmission greater with higher maternal HIV RNA viral load (VL)

However, perinatal transmission can occur even at undetectable maternal VL

Plasma VL may not accurately predict transmission risk

VL level should not be a determining factor in deciding whether to start ART for perinatal prophylaxis

ARV prophylaxis to prevent perinatal transmission is recommended for all HIV-infected women

RecommendationsRecommendations

Contraception counseling to avoid unintended pregnancy is an essential part of care

Counsel on safe sexual practices, eliminating alcohol, illicit drug use, and smoking

Educate about risk factors for perinatal HIV transmission and strategies for reducing them

Encourage testing and counseling of partners

Counsel on reproductive options that prevent HIV exposure to uninfected partner

Page 13: U.S. Public Health Service Perinatal Guidelines Recommendations for the Use of Antiretroviral Drugs in Pregnant HIV-1-Infected Women for Maternal Health

April 200913 www.aidsetc.org

Recommendations Recommendations (2)(2)

For women of childbearing potential, consider effectiveness of ARVs as well as teratogenic effects In women who intend to become pregnant, avoid EFV

Attain a stable, maximally suppressed VL prior to conception

Breast-feeding is not recommended in the United States (risk of HIV transmission via breast milk)

ARV Naive ARV Naive (2)(2)

Perform resistance testing before selection of ARVs

Include ZDV in ARV regimen when feasible

NVP: can be initiated for pregnant women with CD4 counts of <250 cells/µL

If CD4 cell count is >250 cells/µL, initiate NVP only if benefit outweighs risk (increased risk of hepatic toxicity)

Avoid EFV in 1st trimester

April 200922 www.aidsetc.org

Women Not Currently on ARVs with Women Not Currently on ARVs with History of Prophylaxis or TreatmentHistory of Prophylaxis or Treatment

Obtain history of prior ARV regimens and results of resistance testing

Perform drug resistance testing before starting ARVs

Results may not be accurate; interpret with caution

Select ARVs based on ARV history and resistance testing; monitor virologic response closely

Avoid drugs that may harm the fetus or mother (eg, EFV, d4T + ddI)

If poor virologic response, repeat resistance testing and consult experts

Special Considerations for ARV UseSpecial Considerations for ARV Useby Pregnant Women and Infantsby Pregnant Women and Infants

Pregnancy may alter ARV absorption, distribution, and metabolism

ARV dosing and toxicity risk may be affected

Some PIs may require altered dosing

Limited data to guide treatment in pregnant women

Report all cases of ARV drug exposure to Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry

April 200924 www.aidsetc.org

Special Considerations for ARV Use Special Considerations for ARV Use (2)(2)

Potential adverse effects during pregnancy: EFV: Avoid during 1st trimester of pregnancy;

possible risk of neural tube defects TDF: Concern for possible fetal bone effects;

monitor for renal toxicity in pregnancy Combination of d4T + ddI: increased risk of lactic

acidosis and hepatic steatosis

Page 25: U.S. Public Health Service Perinatal Guidelines Recommendations for the Use of Antiretroviral Drugs in Pregnant HIV-1-Infected Women for Maternal Health

April 200925 www.aidsetc.org

Special ConsiderationsSpecial Considerations for ARV Use for ARV Use (3)(3)

Use with caution during pregnancy: NVP: Increased risk of hepatotoxicity; do not initiate in women with

CD4 counts of >250 cells/µL unless benefits clearly outweigh risks

Screen for hyperglycemia: Standard glucose loading test at 24-28 weeksConsider earlier screening if on chronic PI-based therapy

Risk of lactic acidosis/hepatic steatosis owing to NRTIs: Monitor hepatic enzymes, electrolytes monthly in 3rd

trimester; assess often for new symptoms

ART and Pregnancy OutcomeART and Pregnancy Outcome

Conflicting data: Are ARVs associated with adverse outcomes, especially preterm delivery? – Most U.S. data do not demonstrate increased risk

Conflicting data: Does in utero ARV exposure cause mitochondrial dysfunction in neonates?– If so, appears to occur very rarely

HIV-infected women should receive combination ART according to current guidelines

ARV Resistance in PregnancyARV Resistance in Pregnancy

Resistance to ARVs may:

Decrease efficacy of perinatal prophylaxis

Limit future maternal treatment options

Limit treatment options in infected infants

ARV Resistance Testing during PregnancyARV Resistance Testing during Pregnancy

Recommended for:

Women not currently on ARVs – before starting treatment or prophylaxis

Women experiencing virologic failure or suboptimal VL suppression

To maximize prevention of perinatal transmission, empiric ART can be started before test results are available, with adjustments made after results are known

April 200950 www.aidsetc.org

Management of ARV Resistance Management of ARV Resistance during Pregnancyduring Pregnancy

Women with ZDV resistance should still receive IV ZDV during labor, along with their ARV regimen

Their infants should receive oral ZDV for 6 weeks

Often, only wild-type virus is transmitted

ZDV crosses placenta readily, with high levels in fetus

Reduces genital HIV VL

Consult pediatric HIV specialist

Discontinue d4T in women taking ZDV

Prevention of ARV Drug ResistancePrevention of ARV Drug Resistance

Select ARVs according to ART history and resistancetest results

Maximally suppress viral replication

Counsel patient about adherence

If stopping NVP / NNRTI-containing regimen, consider continuing NRTIs for 7 days after stopping NNRTI NNRTIs have very long half-lives

Need to “cover” period of persisting NNRTI exposure

Optimal time to continue NRTIs is not known

or onset of labor: base decision on clinical factors Benefits of C/S unclear for women with HIV RNA

levels <1,000 copies/mL

Scheduled C/S may not further reduce risk of transmission

Maternal Risks by Mode of DeliveryMaternal Risks by Mode of Delivery

Counsel women about potential risks and benefits of cesarean vs vaginal delivery

C/S associated with greater risk of complications Compared with vaginal delivery in HIV-infected women

Compared with C/S in HIV-uninfected women

Scheduled C/S less risky than emergent C/S

Complications do not outweigh benefits of reduced HIV transmission for those at increased risk

Prophylactic narrow spectrum antibiotic generally recommended at time of C/S

Avoid artificial rupture of membranes or invasive monitoring unless obstetrically indicated and duration is expected to be short

Use forceps or vacuum extractor only in select circumstances

Avoid use of Methergine for postpartum hemorrhage in women receiving PIs, EFV, or DLV Risk of exaggerated vasoconstrictive response

Use if no other alternative, at low dosage and for short duration

Postpartum Follow-UpPostpartum Follow-Up Coordinate medical services between obstetric and

HIV specialists

ART:

Continuing or stopping depends on CD4 nadir, clinical symptoms, disease stage, and other factors

If nadir CD4 <350 cells/µL or symptomatic, encourage continuing the regimen

If started ART with nadir of CD4 >350 cells/µL, consult the provider on whether to continue therapy

If no indication for therapy, stop ARVs after delivery

Adherence may be challenging in postpartum period

Postpartum Follow-Up Postpartum Follow-Up (2)(2)

Women with positive rapid HIV test result in labor Confirmation of HIV infection

Counseling and comprehensive medical assessment

Assessment of need for ART

Supportive services to be assured prior to discharge

Breast-feeding not recommended (risk of HIV transmission via breast milk)

Postpartum Follow-UpPostpartum Follow-Up (3)(3)

Contraceptive counseling is critical

Condom use important for prevention of HIV and STD transmission

Unintended pregnancy rate is high with condom use alone

Drug interactions between oral contraceptives and many PIs and NNRTIs

For women who are certain they do not wish future childbearing: thorough counseling and discussion about permanent contraceptive methods

Infants Born to Mothers with Unknown Infants Born to Mothers with Unknown HIV Infection StatusHIV Infection Status

Rapid HIV antibody testing of mother or infant recommended If positive:

Initiate ARV prophylaxis for infant immediately

Perform confirmatory test (eg, Western blot)

Positive infant antibody test cannot distinguish maternal from infant infection – requires HIV virologic test

If confirmatory test is negative (in mother or infant), discontinue ARV prophylaxis

Infant ARV ProphylaxisInfant ARV Prophylaxis

6-week ZDV chemoprophylaxis advised for all HIV-exposed neonates

Should be initiated within 6-12 hours of delivery

If concerns about adherence or toxicity, may consider reducing infant prophylaxis from 6 to 4 weeks

Dosage is different for premature infants; consultwith pediatric HIV specialist

Infant ARV ProphylaxisInfant ARV Prophylaxis (2)(2)

Combination therapy: ZDV + additional ARVs

Additional efficacy in prevention of infant infection not proven

Consult with a pediatric HIV specialist if considering additional ARVs in situations of increased transmission risk

Infant ARV ProphylaxisInfant ARV Prophylaxis (3)(3)

Use of additional drugs will depend on: Maternal HIV RNA level near delivery

Mode of delivery

Gestational age at delivery

Availability of drug formulation

Dosing information for neonates (known for few ARVs)

Risks of toxicity in neonates are unclear Limited data on most ARVs

Initial Management of the Initial Management of the HIV-Exposed NeonateHIV-Exposed Neonate

Monitoring ARV effects CBC and differential before starting ZDV

Follow-up of hematologic monitoring varies by baseline results, clinical factors

If hematologic abnormalities identified, consult pediatric HIV specialist

LFTs may be required for infants exposed tocombination ARV therapy in utero or after birth

Serum lactate: recommended if infant develops severe clinical symptoms of unknown etiology If severely abnormal (>5 mmol/L), discontinue ARV prophylaxis

and consult pediatric HIV specialist

Initial Management of the Initial Management of the HIV-Exposed Neonate HIV-Exposed Neonate (2)(2)

Begin PCP prophylaxis (TMP-SMX) at 6 weeks,after completion of ZDV regimen, unless HIVhas been ruled out

Diagnosis of HIV infection in neonates: virologictests (HIV DNA or RNA) Age 14-21 days, 1-2 months, and 4-6 months Some experts test at birth

Long-Term Follow-Up of Long-Term Follow-Up of ARV-Exposed InfantsARV-Exposed Infants

Children with significant organ system abnormalities of unknown etiology: evaluate for mitochondrialdysfunction

Other possible early and late effects of in utero ARV exposure are not fully known

Follow-up should continue into adulthood

Should include yearly physical examination

For adolescent females, should include gynecologicevaluation with Pap tests
