Prevention of HIV-1 transmission through breastfeeding: Efficacy and safety of maternal antiretroviral therapy vs infant nevirapine prophylaxis for duration of breastfeeding in HIV-1-infected women with high CD4 cell count (IMPAACT PROMISE) a randomized, open-label, clinical trial
Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes Mar 04, 2018
Flynn PM, et al. - Researchers performed a randomized trial to directly compare the efficacy of prolonged infant antiretroviral prophylaxis vs maternal antiretroviral therapy (mART) for prevention of mother-to-child transmission throughout the breastfeeding period. Outcomes demonstrated the safety of both mART and infant nevirapine (iNVP) prophylaxis strategies. The strategies were observed to be associated with very low breastfeeding HIV-1 transmission and high infant HIV-1–free survival at 24 months.
