Overall, little is known about pregnancy outcomes and CMV viraemia in CMV-coinfected pregnant women with HIV. To further explore this issue, the impact of CMV coinfection was evaluated on pregnancy outcomes in a national cohort of pregnant women with HIV, assessing in a study subsample the prevalence and correlates of CMV DNAaemia in HIV-CM...
