In this routine care cohort, risk of SGA, and possibly of pregnancy loss, was increased in WLHIV compared with HIV-negative women, with no evidence of increased risk of preterm delivery. Further research is needed to improve mechanistic understanding of the contribution of ART to adverse birth outcomes to optimize treatment for pregnant WLHIV and ensure optimal maternal and infant outcomes.
