Abstract: The study analyzed pregnancy outcomes among 498 women living with HIV in East Asia. We found 15% had pregnancies postdiagnosis, with 57% resulting in live births. Older age at antiretroviral therapy initiation and higher pre-antiretroviral therapy viral loads were negatively associated with pregnancy. High rates of unplanned pregnancies (61%) and terminations (26%) highlight the need for improved reproductive counseling.
