Journal ArticleDOI
Short-course zidovudine for perinatal HIV-1 transmission in Bangkok, Thailand: a randomised controlled trial
Nathan Shaffer,Rutt Chuachoowong,Philip A. Mock,Chaiporn Bhadrakom,Wimol Siriwasin,Nancy L. Young,Tawee Chotpitayasunondh,Sanay Chearskul,Anuvat Roongpisuthipong,Pratharn Chinayon,John M. Karon,Timothy D. Mastro,R.J. Simonds +12 more
TL;DR: A short course of twice-daily oral zidovudine was safe and well tolerated and, in the absence of breastfeeding, can lessen the risk for mother-to-child HIV-1 transmission by half.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maternal viral load and timing of mother-to-child HIV transmission Bangkok Thailand.
Philip A. Mock,Nathan Shaffer,Chaiporn Bhadrakom,Wimol Siriwasin,Tawee Chotpitayasunondh,Sanay Chearskul,Nancy L. Young,Anuvat Roongpisuthipong,Pratharn Chinayon,Marcia L. Kalish,Bharat Parekh,Timothy D. Mastro +11 more
TL;DR: The results provide further evidence that most perinatal HIV-1 transmission occurs during labor and delivery, and that risk factors may differ according to time of transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maternal Virus Load and Perinatal Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Subtype E Transmission, Thailand
Nathan Shaffer,Anuvat Roongpisuthipong,Wimol Siriwasin,Tawee Chotpitayasunondh,Sanay Chearskul,Nancy L. Young,Bharat Parekh,Philip A. Mock,Chaiporn Bhadrakom,Pratharn Chinayon,Marcia L. Kalish,Susan Phillips,Timothy C. Granade,Shambavi Subbarao,Bruce G. Weniger,Timothy D. Mastro +15 more
TL;DR: Although risk is multifactorial, high maternal virus load at delivery strongly predicts transmission, which may have important implications for interventions designed to reduce perinatal transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wimol Siriwasin,Nathan Shaffer,Anuvat Roongpisuthipong,P Bhiraleus,Pratharn Chinayon,Chantapong Wasi,Sunee Singhanati,Tawee Chotpitayasunondh,Sanay Chearskul,Waranee Pokapanichwong,Philip A. Mock,Bruce G. Weniger,Timothy D. Mastro +12 more
TL;DR: Prevalence of HIV in pregnant women has increased steadily in Bangkok from 1991 through 1996, and the unexpected finding that one fourth of partners of seropositive pregnant women were seronegative is emphasized.
