Pregnant women living with HIV Iliana Hernández

HIV infection is currently considered incurable, although there are antiretroviral drugs that are able to contain the infection. In developed countries, those infected can lead a completely normal life, like a chronically ill person, without developing AIDS thanks to treatment. However, in other parts of the world, where these drugs are not available, those infected develop AIDS and die within a few years of being diagnosed. A training course for pregnant women living with HIV and the results of the educational intervention are published in this book.
