Abstract

The rate of late preterm delivery has increased in the general population, and the late preterm infants have a higher incidence of morbidity compared to term newborns. Late preterm data are lacking in born to HIV-infected mother. We showed that, among 202 live births, late preterm delivery was higher in born to HIV-infected mothers than in the general population while their morbidity was lower.
