Abstract

In the field of obstetrics, there is a relatively low rate of HIV prevalence among pregnant women, however, we still believe that the professionals involved in their care need to know the latest treatment methods and test results. Currently, midwives, and nurses can not care for mothers with HIV independently, as it belongs to the high risk category but, and we still think that due to the constantly changing competency of professionals in the field of pre-screening, it is essential to get acquainted with current research findings. Based on current research, significant improvements can be found among HIV-positive pregnant women in relation to nursing and nursing care; giving birth will be as beautiful and elevated experience for the mothers as for healthy pregnant women. The aim of our study was to dispel existing stereotypes about the care and provision of HIV positive pregnancies and to draw attention to the continuous development of health professionals' knowledge in this field.
