Investigating the links between HIV, gestational diabetes, and tuberculosis in pregnant women

Who could benefit from this research

What this research studies

This research focuses on understanding how HIV and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) affect the risk of tuberculosis (TB) in pregnant women. It aims to identify immune impairments that increase TB risk among women living with HIV, despite their use of combined anti-retroviral therapy. The study will involve enrolling pregnant women in their second trimester at a medical college in India, with follow-up visits throughout their pregnancy and postpartum period to monitor health outcomes. By examining the interactions between these conditions, the research seeks to provide insights into improving maternal health.
