Key Points Question Are adverse neighborhood exposures associated with poor virologic control of HIV in pregnant women at labor and delivery? Findings In this cohort study of 905 births among 684 women with HIV, women residing in neighborhoods with high rates of violent and prostitution crimes were more likely to have poor virologic control, whereas women residing in neighborhoods with high rates of education were more likely to have better virologic control. Meaning These findings suggest that social determinants need to be addressed to improve maternal health.
