WHO is working with all stakeholders to gather and review safety data about women who have become pregnant while taking DTG worldwide to determine if this risk is confirmed. There is a need to collect any existing and new data from various partners including from pharmacovigilance databases (FDA, EMA, WHO, others), from on-going cohorts, research and clinical trials, and assess the potential risk of teratogenicity and pregnancy adverse outcomes of dolutegravir as well as a potential effect across the integrase strand inhibitor (INSTI) antiretroviral drug class.
