Abstract

This article reviews the New York State regulations regarding expedited testing of newborns for exposure to HIV. Included is a review of statistics as well as the medical and obstetric management of HIV positive pregnant women, including route of delivery. The professional responsibility of midwives, physicians, and other clinicians regarding maternal and neonatal health care is emphasized, especially in states without expedited testing.
