Summary

A new patient presents for consultation and transfer of care to your high-risk obstetrics unit at a tertiary center. She is a healthy 22-year-old primigravida at 14+3 weeks’ gestation with an incidentally positive test for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) on routine prenatal testing. A copy of the original laboratory report has been provided to you. The patient is aware of the results. Referral to a virologist has also been instigated. Her first-trimester sonogram and aneuploidy screen were unremarkable. She has no obstetric complaints.
