The prevalence of perinatal depression among women living with HIV was found to be high. Adherence counseling needs to be strengthened; preventing first line treatment failure has to be encouraged; greater emphasis has to be given for those women on second line ART. Early identification and management of co-morbidity has to be considered. HIV positive perinatal women need counseling to reduce HIV-related perceived stigma.
