Excellent work! I have just a few suggestions for the article:
The Lead:
-add in (ART) after antiretrovirals are first mentioned in the lead.
-add something more to information about US and HIV birth rate (seems like a sentence without any introduction. How was Cuba able to rid mother-to-child transmission of HIV? (very impressive)
Pregnancy Planning:
-when speaking about serodiscordinant couples, perhaps mention that the infection can spread to the child as well
Prevention of mother-to-child transmission to the end of the article:
-there is interchange between “anti-HIV medications” and “ART”-perhaps state either one or the other to ease understanding
-perhaps change this sentence:
“If, before her scheduled cesarean delivery, a woman's water breaks or she goes into labor, a Cesarean section may not reduce the risk of mother-to-child transmission of HIV”
to
“If a woman’s water breaks or she goes into labor before her scheduled cesarean section, then performing a cesarean section may not reduce the risk of mother-to-child transmission of HIV”
-or something a little easier to understand/less commas
Medications during pregnancy:
-expand on the medications, what is an NRTI? Maybe just add in a short description if the person does not want to click on the link
Postnatal care:
“Within 6 to 12 hours after delivery, babies born to women infected with HIV are recommended to receive zidovudine (AZT), and to continue this medication for 6 weeks”- add in what these medications are, remind that they are anti-retroviral medications
“Testing for babies is done using a virologic HIV test.”-what is this test?
“In developing countries, the WHO balances the low risk of transmission through breast feeding from women who are on ART with the benefits of breastfeeding against diarrhea, pneumonia and malnutrition”
-maybe clarify by including something about “breastfeeding has been shown to boost a child’s ability to fight diarrhea, pneumonia, and malnutrition”
-maybe add in a concensus statement on what the WHO believes a woman should do, breast feed or not breast feed in developing countries?
Hope this helps!

Can we remove the banner? Global guidelines have largely harmonized so there's not as much need for "worldwide" perspective and the recent large update by Pavikavarma did broaden certain topics. Looks like it was placed by FloNight

More needs to be added about exclusive breastfeeding. Does it need a separate page or would the advice be to add more to the main breastfeeding page. Generally some HIV information needs updating. For example, the advice is now that all HIV positive women should be taking antiretrovirals. TamaraStaples ( talk) 17:22, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
Hello! I am a 4th year medical student participating in a WikiProject Medicine course at UCF COM. We were instructed to choose a medical article and edit/update the current article over the next 4 weeks. I am proposing making the changes denoted below, and I would greatly value any feedback from the Wikipedia community throughout this process. Thank you very much!
General Changes
Lead Section
Layout I intend to update the structure of this article to align with WikiProject Medicine's suggested diseases/disorders/syndromes layout, which is described below. While the current article has some great information and high quality writing, the structure is convoluted, and it is challenging to both follow and locate specific information. My suggested layout offers a straightforward order of information that is easier to digest and find the necessary information that pertains to this disease process. While this is an interesting article because it focuses on a disease in a specific patient population, I still believe this format makes the most sense for presenting the information in a clear and concise manner.
As I mentioned, I appreciate any feedback the Wiki community has! I look forward to working on this project and helping to make it a high quality article.
Thanks! Rdwing08 ( talk) 03:50, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
@Rdwing08 Awesome job! You've added so much information to this page. Be proud!
Lead
· Very nice lead that brings up the importance of HIV involved in pregnancy
· Good idea to mention how risks can be lowered
· It well reflects important information covered in the rest of the article
· Minor suggestion: The 5th sentence of the first paragraph ("According to...") is a bit hard to follow.
Content (on sections author specifically added)
Transmission Mechanism
· Good addition to the article. I can see that you want to stress how the transmission can be prevented. It may appear redundant to some but you styled it nicely so I'm personally OK with it.
Clinical Characteristics/Presentation
· Overall, easy understand and helpful
· Great images. I remember you being concerned with the rash picture but you clearly noted that it is not associated with HIV necessarily. I have no concern regarding that picture just like we agreed during our last meeting.
· The only suggestion I have is maybe adding some links to some of the symptoms and signs you describe (like Kaposi, candida, etc)
Diagnosis/Screening
· Great work on adding so much information!
· Suggestion: Is there any reference you can add for the second sentence ("Both risks can be...")?
· Minor Suggestion: In the second last paragraph, maybe consider saying "it is vital" or "it is important" instead of "vitally important"
HIV Testing in Pregnancy
· Again, great job! It doesn't show if you added the "further information" link but if you did, a great idea!
· Minor Suggestion: The last sentence of the second last paragraph ("If the initial antigen/antibody...") is a little bit hard to follow
Treatment/Management
· So much addition plus I really like the minor edits you've done to already existing contents
· Suggestion: Under Labor and Delivery, can you specify viral load range like you did in Prevention section? Like adding "HIV RNA" to "(less than 1000 copies/mL)" in the second paragraph and "(greater than 1000 copies/mL)" in the third paragraph
· Suggestion: Under Vaccination, need reference for the last sentence of the first paragraph ("Vaccination is important...")
Antiretroviral Medications During Pregnancy
· I really like how you started this section by stating the goal. Everything looks great in this section!
Postnatal Care
· Flows very nicely and easy to understand
· super minor suggestion: typo in the last sentence of Infant Treatment and Follow Up - mrother
Tone and Balance
Sources and References
Organization
Media
Overall Impressions:
You have done a tremendous job in adding so much information to this page. Your edits to the already existing contents helped with their flow too.
I really love how you describe certain medical terms in lay terms even when you could have just linked them to another wiki page. I can tell that you really thought of the future readers!
Great job and you should be proud of yourself!! :D Hy097231 ( talk) 15:34, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
Article chosen: HIV and Pregnancy
Why this one? Include WP rating scale? How fit with your interests. Other details as desired It was rated as a high importance article but graded as a “Start” which is a fairly low on the wikipedia grading scale. HIV and pregnancy is a stigmatized topic and thus we would like to review the article in a way that dispels stigmas.
You WP editing team (up to 3) Rio Barrere-Cain and Eliana Kim
Initial Analysis of the article Well-organized and thorough, last edited by a group of students several months ago in January 2021. It seems like it contains a lot of medical jargon and could be improved to be more accessible and comprehensible to the public/pregnant people with HIV.
What will you add? More gender inclusive language (ie changing mother to gestational parent or birthing parent) More images and pictures of different skin tones More citations and links throughout the article More information on resources and support groups for parents living with HIV
What will you remove? Gender binary terms Some medical jargon
What will you augment? Use of non-medical jargon Augment section on stigmas and discrimination for parents who have HIV and become pregnant
What will you decrease coverage of? Not applicable
Roles in the project. List members and planned roles. Possible roles include: Overseer/amalgamator/reconciler Readability editor Researcher Editor/writer-what sections will each do? Linker, for larger groups consider someone who will check the articles linked to make sure that the linked material is sufficient and accurate Images/graphics
Linker - Eliana Researcher/Writer for Discrimination section - Rio Resources and Support groups - Eliana and Rio Images - Eliana Editing medical jargon and editing in general - Eliana does section 4, Rio does 1,2,3,5
Team coordination plan: 9/10 Friday Check-in Mtg - Eliana to send Zoom invite
WIP presenter Since we are just two people Eliana and Rio will tag team
Impressions & Feedback: 9/13
Great ideas to improve this page. Given how thorough it is, I appreciate how you all focused on unique aspects that would make it more appropriate for all relevant populations.
@ Sp3454: Per this discussion, there is site wide consensus not to use gender neutral language. We should be using the same language the overwhelming number of reliable source use. Thank you. Boghog ( talk) 04:22, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
