Purpose:The purpose of this study was to determine HIV prevalence among
participants admitted to the delivery room and recent birth attendants. Materials
and Methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional, analytical study, with a
prospective collection from February 1, 2018 to January 31, 2019 at fousseyni
Daou Hospital in Kayes, Mali. Results: During our
study period, we recorded 4269 deliveries.
HIV-positive patients known before labour accounted for 0.21%. Four
hundred and six participants received counselling/testing in the delivery room;
of which 36 refused the test: 8.87% and 370 accepted or 91.13%. Thirteen
patients tested positive or 3.51%. The 20-35 age
group was the most represented at 76.92%. Positive patients tested received ARV
treatment in the delivery room in 92.31% of cases; and 1 patient or 7.69% did
not receive treatment for refusal. Vaginal delivery was the most common at 77%, with caesarean section 23%. Newborns had a
