Abstract

The situation with HIV infection in the world can be described as pandemic and put on a par with world wars, both in terms of the number of lives lost and the damage it causes to society 1,5,9. The problem of HIV infection in women of reproductive age is especially pressing, since it poses a threat to future generations. Accumulated clinical experience and basic medical research have significantly changed the course of the disease. If previously patients with AIDS did not have a chance to be cured, now HIV is a chronic, long-term, manageable disease. This occurred as a result of the study of the immunodeficiency virus itself and, especially, the development and implementation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) into clinical practice 2,8,10,14. What happened next remains a unique phenomenon in medicine: within a few years after the discovery of the disease, it transformed from a known fatal disease into a condition that can be effectively treated with long-term therapy. Already, HIV-infected people live, work and are sufficiently socially adapted. Recent studies have shown changes in the social and gender composition of infected citizens, the number of infected women is increasing, the infection is diagnosed not only among marginal, but also quite prosperous groups of the population, among those newly infected the number of older people is increasing, and heterosexual transmission of the infection is increasing 3,7,11,13-48. The changes that have occurred have posed new challenges for medicine: high-quality medical care that can preserve health and ensure a full life for infected citizens. In this context, the most important aspect is the rehabilitation of the reproductive function of HIV-infected patients, the prevention of partner infection and the birth of healthy children.
