Los Angeles County Standards for Perinatal HIV Prevention and Care

This document reviews current national and state recommendations, and presents guidelines for the identification, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care of HIV+ women during pregnancy, at delivery and for their newborn infant postpartum.  These recommended guidelines are intended to establish minimum requirements necessary for the provision of care for the HIV+ pregnant women and her newborn in facilities in Los Angeles County that provide care for these patients.  An additional goal of this document is to suggest guidelines that may be utilized for establishing a network of sites providing HIV specific care to this population by a "carve out" mechanism.  This document is not intended to be exhaustive; and includes appropriate references and internet sources such as national published guidelines.
