TL;DR: A prospective cohort study in Kigali, Rwanda, of 212 mother—infant pairs who were seronegative for HIV-1 at delivery and after a mean follow-up of 16.6 months, 16 of the 212 mothers became seropositive for HIV in their infants, and one infant was excluded from the analysis because of a positive test on the blood sample obtained at birth.
Journal ArticleDOI
