HIV infection is a substantial risk factor for maternal death, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. Global estimates attribute 20% of maternal deaths to HIV [1]. Statistics from Sub-Saharan Africa show that maternal mortality among HIV-infected women is approximately 8 times higher than among uninfected women [2].Obstetric hemorrhage is the most common cause of maternal mortality, accounting for 30% of global maternal deaths [3]. It is important to understand better the contribution of HIV to maternal death from obstetric hemorrhage. The aim of the present analysis was to investigate whether HIV infection was associated with severe obstetric hemorrhage among a group of peripartum women.
