Conclusion
With regard to two associated factors, anemia at first ANC and viral load ≥ 400 copies/ml, a high prevalence of anemia at delivery in HIV-infected pregnant women was found in the present study. However, these conclusions should be interpreted in light of limitation of the number of patients in this study. Compared with normal group, the pregnancy outcomes in anemia group seem to be poorer. The authors believe that early ANC with adequate iron supplementation could reduce iron deficiency anemia and improve pregnancy outcomes.
