Abstract
in English, French

In 2023, BREACH («Belgium Research on AIDS and HIV Consortium») presented new Belgian consensus guidelines for perinatal management of HIV-positive mothers. This article aims to highlight them. We review maternal management, discussing the importance of antiretroviral agents during pregnancy, the recommended follow-up and the preferred mode of delivery. The specificities for the infant will be addressed and include management at birth, post-exposure prophylaxis, new developments regarding breast-feeding and necessary follow-up.

En 2023, le BREACH («Belgium Research on AIDS and HIV Consortium») a présenté les nouvelles recommandations belges pour la prise en charge périnatale en cas de mère séropositive au Virus de l’Immunodéficience Humaine (VIH). Cet article a pour but de les mettre en lumière. Nous aborderons la prise en charge maternelle, en discutant l’importance des antirétroviraux durant la grossesse ainsi que le suivi recommandé et le mode d’accouchement à privilégier. Nous évoquerons également les particularités pédiatriques comme la prise en charge recommandée à la naissance, la prophylaxie post-exposition, les nouveautés concernant l’allaitement maternel et le suivi préconisé.
