HIV INFECTION AMONG PREGNANT WOMEN IN THE REPUBLIC OF BASHKORTOSTAN

The aim of this study was to characterize the situation of HIV infection among pregnant women in the Republic of Bashkortostan in 2013-2017 on the basis of a comprehensive retrospective analysis of indicators.

A comprehensive retrospective analysis of statistical data on 2734 cases of pregnancies of HIV-infected women who were on dispensary observation at the Republican center for prevention and control of AIDS and infectious diseases in the period from 2013 to 2017 was carried out. The prevalence of HIV infection in pregnant women during the study period tended to increase annually from 656.4 to 857.8 per 100 thousand pregnancies. The prevalence of HIV infection among pregnant women who have completed pregnancy by childbirth increased from 650.7 to 795.0 per 100 thousand women who gave birth. The incidence of HIV infection among pregnant women, reflecting the first identified cases, increased from 248.4 to 267.1 per 100 thousand pregnancies. The proportion of newly diagnosed HIV infections among pregnant women in the structure of the overall HIV incidence has decreased from 7.92% to 6.03%. The main route of HIV infection of pregnant women was sexual, the average for the period of its specific weight was 92.6±4.0%, the parenteral pathway accounted for 7.4±4.0%. There is a steady change in the age structure of HIV-infected pregnant women with first time established diagnosis, towards the age group of 21-30 years. If in 2013, the structure was dominated by pregnant women aged 31-40 years (60.2%), in 2017 the first place was the age group of 21-30 years (47.9%). On average, 24.7±2.3% of HIV-infected women were admitted to the study period under observation up to 12 weeks of pregnancy. The rate of vertical transmission of HIV infection averaged 2.9±1.0% over the period. Determination of the main trends of HIV infection among pregnant women, allows to assess the effectiveness of the implemented therapeutic and preventive measures, to develop and implement new methods of organization of medical care of this category of population, aimed at reducing the spread of the disease.
