Isi artikel

Mother-to-child transmission of HIV continues to be a global public health problem with 1600 babies becoming infected daily. Risk factors for infection in the face of zidovudine propohylaxis include maternal viral loasd, breastfeeding, and nonreceipt of elective caesarean section. New international clinical trial findings provide hope that short-course antenatal and intrapartum/neonatal antiretrovirals can substantially reduce perinatal HIV transmission in resource poor settings. The current challenge is to translate trial results into pulic health practice in order to maximally reduce mother-to-child HIV transmission worldwide.
