Rev Med Interne. 1993;14(10):1000. Unique Identifier : AIDSLINE

In a hospital-based cohort study of HIV-infected patients, we compare the progression of the disease (occurrence of CDC group IV, death, decline of CD4 below 200/mm3) between 55 women with delivery and 89 matched control HIV positive women with no history of pregnancy. After a mean follow-up of three years, no significant difference was observed between the two groups even after adjustment on prognostic variables.
