Sex in Late-Stage Pregnancy Tied to Higher HIV Risk Biological changes may increase HIV transmission in serodiscordant couples 
BOSTON -- The risk of HIV transmission per sex act increased steadily through pregnancy, and was highest during postpartum, researchers reported here. In two HIV prevent studies that included 2,571 African women living in HIV serodiscordant relationships (female partners did not have HIV), the risk of HIV infection was 2.97-fold higher during the second two trimesters of pregnancy (P=0.01) and 4.18-fold higher during the 6-month post partum period (P=0.01), according to Renee Heffron, PhD, of the University of Washington in Seattle, and colleagues.

The CME Internet Symposium: CROI 2018 Expert Review will feature a panel of HIV experts reviewing and discussing key presentations on antiretroviral therapy presented at CROI 2018. The review and discussion will focus on HIV therapeutic options and developments, including: current treatment and management strategies, algorithms and recommendations, therapies in development, epidemiology, and diagnosis and clinical management of specific patient populations. This activity will enable participating health care providers caring for HIV-infected patients to become aware of and understand the data presented at this important conference and appropriately utilize those data to improve patient care.
