TLDR
In this paper, the efficacy and safety of two inexpensive and easily deliverable antiretroviral (ARV) regimens for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 during labor and delivery HIV-infected pregnant women were screened at 11 maternity health institutions in South Africa and were enrolled in an open-label short course ARV regimen of either nevirapine (Nvp) or multiple-dose zidovudine and lamivudine (Zdv/3TCAbstract:
To determine the efficacy and safety of 2 inexpensive and easily deliverable antiretroviral (ARV) regimens for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 during labor and delivery HIV-infected pregnant women were screened at 11 maternity health institutions in South Africa and were enrolled in an open-label short course ARV regimen of either nevirapine (Nvp) or multiple-dose zidovudine and lamivudine (Zdv/3TC). The overall estimated HIV-1 infection rates in 1307 infants by 8 weeks were 12.3% (95% confidence interval [CI] 9.7–15.0) for Nvp and 9.3% (95% CI 7.0–11.6) for Zdv/3TC (P =.11). Excluding infections detected within 72 h (intrauterine) new HIV-1 infections were detected in 5.7% (95% CI 3.7–7.8) and 3.6% (95% CI 2.0–5.3) of infants in the Nvp and Zdv/3TC groups respectively in the 8 weeks after birth. There were no drug-related maternal or pediatric serious adverse events. Common complications were obstetrical for mothers (Nvp group 24.3%; Zdv/3TC group 26.3%) and respiratory for infants (Nvp group 16.1%; Zdv/3TC group 17.0%). This study further confirms the efficacy and safety of short-course ARV regimens in reducing MTCT rates in developing countries. (authors)read more

TL;DR: Intrapartum/ne ononatal nevirapine significantly lowered HIV-1 transmission risk in a breastfeeding population in Uganda compared with a short intrapartu/neonatal zidovudine regimen.

TL;DR: A single dose of nevirapine to the mother, with or without a dose ofNevirapin to the infant, added to oral zidovudine prophylaxis starting at 28 weeks' gestation, is highly effective in reducing mother-to-child transmission of HIV.

TL;DR: Breastfeeding with zidovudine prophylaxis was not as effective as formula feeding in preventing postnatal HIV transmission, but was associated with a lower mortality rate at 7 months, and both strategies had comparable HIV-free survival at 18 months.

TL;DR: In pregnant women with mildly symptomatic HIV disease and no prior treatment with antiretroviral drugs during the pregnancy, a regimen consisting of zidovudine given ante partum and intra partum to the mother and to the newborn for six weeks reduced the risk of maternal-infant HIV transmission by approximately two thirds.
