title: HIV-seropositive childbearing women. Nursing management.
abstract: With the implementation of the recommendation of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists to screen all women who are at increased risk for HIV infection, more asymptomatic infected women will be identified. Obstetric and neonatal nurses who learn more about maternal and infant HIV infection can determine effective nursing interventions. Early planning is necessary to ensure that individualized, comprehensive care is available upon discharge.
