We report high rates of antiretroviral drugs use among mother-infant pairs and a low rate of perinatal HIV transmission in metropolitan DC. Despite a 1.8-fold decrease in the number of high-risk perinatal HIV exposures since 2018, this rate rebounded in 2022. There remain opportunities to optimize maternal care and reduce the number of high-risk HEI.
