Anaemia in pregnancy is associated with advanced HIV disease.

<h4>Background</h4>Anaemia is a common clinical finding in HIV infected women and has been associated with advanced disease. The use of antiretroviral drugs such as Zidovudine (ZDV) either for prevention of mother to child transmission (MTCT) of HIV or used in combination with other anti...
