Combination antiretroviral strategies for the treatment of pregnant HIV-1-infected women and prevention of perinatal HIV-1 transmission.

TL;DR: Levels of HIV-1 RNA at delivery and prenatal antiretroviral therapy were independently associated with transmission and the protective effect of therapy increased with the complexity and duration of the regimen.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maternal levels of plasma human immunodeficiency virus type 1 RNA and the risk of perinatal transmission

TL;DR: Neither higher HIV-1 RNA levels early in pregnancy nor higher levels late in pregnancy were associated with the timing of infection in the infants, and in pregnant women with HIV- 1 infection the level of plasma HIV-2 RNA predicts the risk but not the time of transmission of HIV-3 to their infants.
Journal ArticleDOI

The mode of delivery and the risk of vertical transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1--a meta-analysis of 15 prospective cohort studies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the relation between elective cesarean section and vertical transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), using data on individual patients from 15 prospective cohort studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

An experimental study of acute neonatal enterocolitis—the importance of breast milk

TL;DR: Breast milk through induction of passive enteric immunity and control of intestinal flora protects the rat and may protect at-risk premature infants from acute enterocolitis.
