摘要
Singapore had her first HIV patient tested sero-positive in 1985. Ever since then, the number of new patients being diagnosed has been on the uprising trend. Based on the current evidences in the literature, we look at how our local practice should be positioned. The objective is to study the general profile of all HIV-positive women in Singapore and to compare the difference in vertical transmission rate between women with very low viral count i. e. < 50 copies/ml who underwent caesarean section and normal vaginal deliveries. Also with proper intrapartum and postpartum advice and care, we look at the outcome of unbooked pregnancies. A ten-year retrospective review of HIV-positive women who delivered in KK Women's & Children's Hospital (Singapore) was conducted. All case notes were reviewed and data was collected and analysed using Microsoft Excel. A total of 75 deliveries by 67 women were identified. Four neonates were tested HIV-positive, amounting to a vertical transmission rate of 5.3%. Of the 12 women who were found to have viral counts of less than 50 copies/ml before their deliveries, four underwent normal vaginal deliveries while eight underwent caesarean sections. All babies were tested HIVnegative. Among the five unbooked pregnancies and two pregnancies that were booked at term, one neonate was found to be positive (14.3%). There is no difference in perinatal transmission in women with very low viral count irrespective of the mode of delivery. For those women with unbooked pregnancies, proper intrapartum care, neonatal anti-retroviral therapy together with avoidance of breastfeeding reduces vertical transmission rate and improves neonatal outcome.
