Extended Infant Post-Exposure Prophylaxis With Antiretrovirals to Reduce Postnatal HIV Transmission
Extended Infant Post-Exposure Prophylaxis With Antiretrovirals to Reduce Postnatal HIV Transmission

The purpose of this study is to determine if extended antiretroviral regimens given to the infant during the first 14 weeks of age would decrease breast milk transmission of HIV.

This is a three-arm randomized, open label, clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of two extended regimens of antiretrovirals compared to infant single dose nevirapine plus AZT given twice daily for 1 week (comparison regimen). All infants receive the comparison regimen at birth and then randomized at birth to start either one of the two extended regimens after the first week. The extended regimens are nevirapine daily and nevirapine plus AZT daily - both regimens are given up to age 14 weeks.
