Course of HIV infection and mechanisms of pregnancy failure development in women living in the subarctic region

The aim of the paper is to present the results obtained from scientific literature on the characteristics of gestation course and the mechanisms of its failure in HIV-infected women of the Subarctic region. Materials and Methods. The authors conducted a literary search in the CyberLeninka, PubMed, Medline, Scopus, and HAC journals. They also studied statistical HIV indicators in the world, in Russia and in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area - Yugra. Literary sources are no older than 10 tears. Results. Long-term residence in a Subarctic region cannot but affect the course of a chronic viral infection in pregnant women. Besides the prevention of vertical HIV transmission from a woman to her child, highly active antiviral therapy is an additional factor contributing to the development of premature birth, anemia and other gestation complications in pregnant women.
