Impact of maternal HIV infection on pregnancy and labor complication and perinatal health outcomes: a South African retrospective study

Abstract

A decline in hospital attendance was noted during the COVID-19 period among women living with HIV, with antenatal care attendance being suboptimal and exacerbated. Maternal HIV remains a critical factor influencing birth outcomes, necessitating sustained focus on tailored care during crises to protect vulnerable populations.
