We conducted the analysis of the process of labor and delivery in 577 HIV infected pregnants and the health status of their babies. Within the group of women, who delivered HIV-positive babies, the process of labor and delivery has the following specifics: premature delivery occurs 6.5 time more often, early water sac rupture (duration of ruptured membranes more than 4 hours) happened 2.8 times more often, abnormal process of labor and delivery took place. Every third newborn had acute fetal distress. 60 % of HIV infected babies had the placenta previa. 29.1 % of women who had unsafe delivery practices (e.g., episiotomy, amniotomy) delivered HIV-positive babies.
