In recent years there has been a steady increase in the number of pregnant women with HIV in the UK, the majority (80%) born in Sub-Saharan Africa. This will be the first study to explore the experience of pregnant African women living with HIV in the UK. Interventions, including the use of anti-HIV medication, have dramatically reduced the transmission of HIV from mother to baby. During the first part of the study, existing UK databases on HIV and pregnancy will be analysed to examine the impact of African ethnicity and region of origin on the success of these interventions and return for HIV care after delivery. So far, the data have only been analysed according to ethnicity. Given the diversity of African cultures, grouping countries into regions may be more appropriate. The second part of the study will be conducted in three London HIV clinics. Approximately forty pregnant African women with HIV will be interviewed to explore their experience of pregnancy and attitudes towards medical care. This project will provide an insight into HIV-positive African women‘s experience of pregnancy in the UK and help healthcare providers to develop appropriate and supportive medical services for this group of women.

近年来，英国感染艾滋病毒的孕妇人数稳步增加，其中大多数（80%）出生在撒哈拉以南非洲。这将是第一项探索在英国感染艾滋病毒的非洲孕妇经历的研究。包括使用抗艾滋病毒药物在内的干预措施大大减少了艾滋病毒母婴传播。在研究的第一部分，将分析英国现有的艾滋病毒和怀孕数据库，以研究非洲种族和原籍地区对这些干预措施的成功和分娩后返回艾滋病毒护理的影响。到目前为止，这些数据只是根据族裔进行分析的。鉴于非洲文化的多样性，将各国划分为区域可能更为合适。研究的第二部分将在三个伦敦艾滋病诊所进行。将对大约40名感染艾滋病毒的非洲孕妇进行访谈，探讨她们的怀孕经历和对医疗保健的态度。该项目将深入了解艾滋病毒阳性非洲妇女在联合王国的怀孕经历，并帮助医疗保健提供者为这一妇女群体提供适当的支持性医疗服务。
