From 2015, the entry in the maternity record was supplemented by the option: "HIV test carried out yes / no". The test result is still missing in the maternity record. There is also no documentation in the maternity record regarding the HIV viral load, which is decisive for the mode of delivery. This situation leads to chaos and cost increases in the delivery room. The midwives, who are already at the limit due to personnel savings, are burdened here with acutely researching missing data. HIV viral load determinations that are hastily brought about and are associated with additional costs usually only come into effect when the children have long been born. Since we have recorded significant increase in inquiries from the delivery rooms on this problem via our hotline since 2015 in the course of migration, there is an urgent need for action.
