Antenatal HIV screening strategies EU/EEA, 2013 survey The most common strategy (15/24) of antenatal screening for HIV in EU/EEA countries is opt-out screening, where pregnant women are tested as part of routine antenatal care unless they explicitly decline. Opt-in screening is the chosen strategy in six countries, where pregnant women are offered testing and must provide explicit consent. The Czech Republic, Slovakia and Spain reported universal screening for HIV with systematic testing of all pregnant women. Romania and Slovenia reported that they operated targeted antenatal HIV screening among women who inject drugs. European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.

Linee-guida SIMIT 2016 Terapia antiretrovirale di combinazione (cart) L indicazione al trattamento delle donne in gravidanza non deve discostarsi da quella al di fuori della gravidanza [AIII]. Analogamente agli uomini, le donne HIV positive devono iniziare un regime di terapia ARV al riscontro della positività per HIV, indipendentemente da conta di cellule CD4 e carica virale [AI]. In caso di riscontro di HIV durante la gravidanza si deve accelerare il più possibile l inizio della terapia. Gli obiettivi del trattamento sono: Ottenere una soppressione virale stabile (HIV-RNA non rilevabile). Mantenere la carica virale non rilevabile nelle donne che si trovano già in questa condizione all inizio della gravidanza. Realizzare il più rapidamente possibile una soppressione virale dell HIV fino a livelli non rilevabili nelle donne che iniziano il trattamento in gravidanza. Ottenere HIV-RNA non rilevabile al 3 trimestre, e in particolare a 34-36 settimane e al momento del parto [1-6, 10]. Il Test di resistenza è raccomandabile in tutte le donne non ancora in trattamento ed in quelle in trattamento con HIV-RNA rilevabile. Laddove i tempi siano limitati va avviata empiricamente la terapia. Il TDM non è raccomandato di routine. Solo in caso di tossicità grave si può prendere inconsiderazione la interruzione della cart. Gli schemi terapeutici consigliati si basano su studi clinici effettuati in gravidanza che ne hanno dimostrato l efficacia (anche a lungo termine), la tossicità accettabile e la facilità nell uso. Antenatal ART resulted in significantly lower rates of early HIV transmission than zidovudine alone Fowler MG, et al. N Engl J Med, 2016 9
