The study examined various adverse pregnancy outcomes in relation to antiretroviral treatment. Statistical analysis employed chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests to determine differences in distribution proportions of patients on ART versus those not on ART across various antenatal and neonatal complications, with significance attributed to p-values &lt;0.05.\r\nResults: A total of 155 patients were found to be HIV positive. Out of this 58 were diagnosed before pregnancy and 97 during pregnancy. Miscarriage was seen in one (0.6%) patient on ART and two (1.2%) not on treatment (p-value 0.6). Sixteen (10.3%) patients underwent medical termination of pregnancy (MTP); all were given HIV-positive status and they were all on ART (p-value &lt;0.001). Anemia was seen in eighteen (11.6%) patients out of which 14(9%) were on ART (p-value 0.01). One (0.64%) woman had thrombocytopenia and she was on ART (p-value 1). Two (1.2%) patients on ART had diabetes mellitus (p-value 0.4). One (0.64%) patient who was on ART developed polyhydramnios (p-value 1).  A total of 8 (5.16%) women had hypertensive disorders; out of which 4(2.58%) were on ART (p-value 1). 11(7.09%) patients who were on ART and 6(3.8%) not on ART had preterm labor (p-value 0.2). 12(7.74%) patients who were not on ART had intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and 2(1.29%) on ART had IUGR. A total of 6(3.87%) patients had Intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD), of which 3(1.93%) were on ART and 3(1.93%) were not (p-value 1).  Pre-labour rupture of membranes (PROM) was observed in 2(1.29%) women on ART and 11(7.09%) patients not on ART (p-value 0.004). All women (100%) had CD4 counts more than 500. All (100%) babies delivered at our center received antiretroviral therapy either with oral Nevirepine. Almost half the women (51.6%) had vaginal delivery. Almost one-fourth, 41(26.4%) had a cesarean section. All caesareans were done given obstetric indications. There were no instrumental deliveries. Our study had a total of 122 live births. All 122(100%) babies were exclusively breastfed. None of the babies delivered in our center developed HIV on follow up which was done at 6 weeks and 6 months. Nine (5.8%) patients had infections. None of these women were on ART(p-value &lt; 0.001).\r\nConclusion: HIV infection during pregnancy is associated with various adverse outcomes, but ART plays a crucial role in mitigating these risks and preventing mother-to-child HIV transmission. Initiating ART in all HIV-positive mothers and their infants is essential regardless of HIV status.\r\nKeywords: anemia, ART, HIV, MTP, Perinatal outcome,  PROM.</jats:p>","journal":"Indonesian Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology","year":2024,"id":618365,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":0,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":null,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":false,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":null,"fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":1595200,"name":"Nikhil shetty","orcid":null,"position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1595201,"name":"Athulya sreenivas","orcid":null,"position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1595202,"name":"Anupama suresh Y","orcid":null,"position":3,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1595203,"name":"Anjali Suneel","orcid":null,"position":4,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1595199,"name":"Muralikrishnan Nambiar","orcid":null,"position":0,"is_corresponding":false}],"reference_count":0,"raw_metadata":{"has_enrichment":true,"resolved":true,"title":"Human Immunodeficiency Virus in Pregnancy  a Retrospective Study on Maternal and Perinatal Outcomes","abstract":"<jats:p>Objective:  To assess the maternal and perinatal outcome in pregnant women with HIV infection and the role of Antiretroviral therapy in reducing complications of pregnancy.\r\nMethods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from HIV-positive mothers receiving antenatal care at a tertiary care center between February 2015 and January 2020.
