HIV disease and pregnancy. Part 3. Postpartum care of the HIV-positive woman and her newborn.
For women with HIV infection, physical and psychosocial adaptation during the postpartum period is fraught with ambivalence. On the one hand, there is the joy of parenthood, but on the other, the burden of a chronic, terminal illness and the possibility of having an infected newborn. The nursing care of the HIV-positive woman and her newborn is discussed. Guidelines for hospital discharge teaching are included.
