Manejo do recém-nascido exposto ao HIV em hospital universitário do nordeste

Abstract

Infection by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a worldwide health problem. The lack of a cure requires that efforts against the disease be focused on preventing transmission and treatment with antiretroviral therapy (ART). Newborns exposed to HIV compose an interest group because of the risk of vertical transmission. This research aims to describe the epidemiological profile of HIV-infected mothers and to evaluate the management and follow-up of mothers and children exposed to the disease. This is a qualitative-quantitative, observational and retrospective study, to be conducted at the Specialized Assistance Service (SAE) of the Hospital Universitário Napoleão Wanderley (HULW) of the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB). This study will analyze medical records of infected pregnant women and children exposed to HIV under monitoring in the SAE, covering children born from January 2018 to December 2019. Data collection will be organized in Excel ®, version 2010. After checking errors and inconsistencies, analysis will be performed by Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 20.0 for Windows.
