RESUMEN

HIV can be transmitted to foetus during pregnancy, labour, and breastfeeding. An estimated 600,000 newborns acquired HIV each year through mother to fetus transmission. Without preventive interventions, approximately 25% of infants born to HIV positive mothers contract the virus. Elective delivery by caesarean section at 38th weeks, before labor and rupture of membrane, decreased the fetal risk. Anniotomy and long-standing rupture of the membranes should be avoided, as should breastfeeding. As well based on the review of literature the authors provide an overview of vertically acquired of HIV infection, preventive measures and perinatal car are discussed.
