Abstract

Co-infection with HIV-1 and -2 is rare, even in west Africa. We present the case of a 38-year-old pregnant Jehovah's Witness presenting late in pregnancy with triple infection with HIV-1, HIV-2 and hepatitis B virus. There was a successful outcome in averting vertical transmission despite objections to management based on religious and cultural beliefs.
