ENGLISH : Objective: To determine the effect of HIV infection on pregnancy and birth rates and assess the potentially confounding effect of illicit drug use. Design: A retrospective record review of matched cohorts examining pregnancy outcomes for HIV-positive women and two HIV-negative comparison groups (one matched by drug use). Methods: Ninety HIV-positive women who gave birth in a US city between 1989 and 1993 were matched to HIV-negative women by race, age, parity and date of index birth (group 1, N=180) and also by the type of illicit drug used (group 2, N=90). Data were abstracted on tubal ligations and pregnancies occurring before April 1996. Results. A total of 63% of HIV-positive women used cocaine during the index pregnancy and 26% also used opiates. HIV-positive women had fewer tuba ligations than group 1 (38.9% versus 51.1%, P=0.058), but there was no difference when matching included drug use (38.91% in group 2). HIV infection was associated with a decrease in the number of pregnancies; this decrease was most marked when matching included drug use (18.0 versus 32.1 pregnancies per 100 woman-years, P |
