As the public health impact of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in women and children has increased, so has interest in screening pregnant women and newborns for evidence of HIV infection. However, screening of pregnant women and newborns raises profound moral, legal, and policy issues. In this article, we present and defend a detailed 10-point program of policy recommendations for both pregnant women and newborns. We advocate informing all pregnant women and new mothers about the HIV epidemic and the availability of testing.

KIE: Interest in screening pregnant women and newborns for evidence of HIV infection has increased along with awareness of the public health impact of HIV infection in women and children. This article presents a detailed 10-point program of policy recommendations for both pregnant women and newborns, and develops its rationale through the examination of potential objections and criticisms. The Working Group policy calls for informing all pregnant women and new mothers about the HIV epidemic and the availability of testing, with an emphasis on voluntary participation and informed consent. The Working Group believes its recommendations are sensitive to the moral, legal, and policy issues raised by screening of pregnant women and newborns, and represent the best compromise of competing interests and social policy.
