From 1
October 2009 – 30 September 2010, there were 29
infected HIV/AIDS cases out of 529 pregnant
patients at Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Roi-Et
Provincial Hospital [2]. Neither standard guidelines
for taking care of mothers and children with HIV
nor study about postpartum mothers in this hospital
in Roi-Et province were reported. Therefore, the
study about self-care of postpartum HIV infected
mothers would be beneficial to further healthcare
improvement.
