Worldwide, the number of childbearing women infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is rising. Early intervention can improve care for these women and reduce HIV transmission to their children. However, for intervention strategies to be effective, childbearing women at risk must be identified. HIV prevalence and risk factors vary widely from one region to another, and strategies for HIV testing must be tailored to local conditions. In this review, published data on HIV risk factors in pregnant women are presented by region, and implications for regional strategies for HIV testing in pregnant women are discussed.
在全球范围内，感染人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）的育龄妇女数量正在上升。早期干预可以改善对这些妇女的护理，并减少HIV传播给她们的孩子。然而，要使干预策略有效，必须识别出有风险的育龄妇女。HIV的流行率和风险因素在不同地区差异很大，HIV检测策略必须因地制宜。在本综述中，按地区列出了关于孕妇HIV风险因素的已发表数据，并讨论了其对孕妇HIV检测区域策略的影响。
