“…Excluded were pregnancies ending in fetal loss at <20 weeks' gestation, and those terminated at any point in pregnancy. Women were categorized by highest BP during pregnancy, using ACC/AHA criteria: normal (BP <120/80 mmHg), "Elevated BP" (BP 120 to 129 mmHg/<80 mmHg), "Stage-1 hypertension" (systolic BP [sBP] 130 to 139 mmHg or diastolic BP [dBP] 80 to 89 mmHg), and "Stage-2 hypertension" that was non-severe (sBP 140 to 159 mmHg or dBP 90 to 109 mmHg) or severe (sBP ≥160 mmHg or dBP ≥110 mmHg). …”

Incidence of unintended pregnancies and pregnancy experience among adolescents living with perinatally-acquired HIV in West Africa: a mixed-method study by Désiré Lucien Dahourou, Clément Tisseron, Caroline Yonaba, Joël Djaha, Marie-Sylvie N’Gbeche, Corinne Moh, Kouakou Kouadio, Patricia Nindjin, François Eboua, Belinda Bouah, Karen Malateste, Jean-Claude Azani, Eulalie Kangah, Elisabeth Thio, Philippe Msellati, Julie Jesson, Valériane Leroy, for the IeDEA West-African Collaboration

“…The eight ALHIV interviewed shared that the discovery of their pregnancy, all unintended, was a shock, and led to negative consequences, such as rejection from their family, and stigmatisation. Most attempted to terminate their pregnancy unsuccessfully. They reported major financial challenges associated with their pregnancy that forced them to find a job rather than going back to school after delivery. …”
