ARV Therapy in Integrated Pregnancy Care For Pregnant Women With HIV/AIDS and Anemia

Abstract

Background: HIV / AIDS was still a syndrome to be very wary of in Southwest Papua.  HIV/AIDS with Anemia has been associated with advanced disease in pregnant women (provide a citation). Management during pregnancy is one of the benchmarks for the welfare of mothers and babies.  Medical treatment includes comprehensive obstetric care to support the pregnancy. The purpose of this study is to report on the management of obstetric care in a pregnant woman with HIV/AIDS and anemia.   Method: This research followed 36-year-old female patient who became pregnant for the 4th time, reportedly visited a community health center because she was dizzy, weak, and easily tired during pregnancy, had a risk of alcohol consumption, and was an active smoker.   Result: Hemoglobin (Hb) content is 10.5 gr/dl, which is below the healthy range (Mayo Clinic-citation).  Since the beginning of pregnancy has not been in contact with health workers.   Conclusion: ARVs that are quick, accurate, consistent, and long-lasting can help lessen the impact of HIV and anemia because it can inhibit the virus and reducing its activity.
