Summary

This study sets up a monitoring program to track pregnancy outcomes and newborn health in HIV-positive and HIV-negative women at clinics in the IeDEA network. Researchers will watch for complications like miscarriage, preterm birth, and congenital abnormalities. The goal is to better understand and detect risks in these pregnancies.

What this could lead to
