TL;DR: In this article, perinatal HIV infection causes developmental regression, with often indolent but progressive neurodevelopmental consequences, such as developmental delay/loss of developmental milestones, with manifestations in motor, mental and expressive language functions.

TL;DR: Preventing deterioration of malnutrition, coupled to early detection of HIV/AIDS with adequate antiretroviral treatment, and extending the duration of feeding supplementation, could be crucial elements for ensuring full recovery and improve child survival in malnourished Zambian children.

TL;DR: Pregnant women interviewed via ACASI were significantly more likely to self-report themselves as single, having >5 sexual partners, having oral sex, using intravenous drugs, smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, and using condoms during pregnancy compared with FTF.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that each twin should be evaluated independently for vertical transmission in antenatal Zika virus exposure, and neonatal PCR testing, placental findings, and infant outcomes can be discordant between co-twins with antenatal ZIKV exposure.

TL;DR: Genotyping should be considered in Brazil in order to assist initiation of appropriate combination antiretroviral therapy during pregnancy to suppress viral load to avoid vertical transmission.
