Brief Title  Backup With Combivir or Single Dose (Sd) Truvada in Order to Avoid NNRTI Resistance After Sd Nevirapine for the PMTCT
Official Title  Clinical Trial: Backup With Combivir (AZT/3TC) or Single Dose (Sd) Truvada (FTC/TDF) in Order to Avoid NNRTI Resistance After Sd Nevirapine for the Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (MTCT)
Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to find short course alternatives to single dose (sd)nevirapine for the prevention of mother-to-child HIV-transmission with the same or better degree of transmission protection than sd nevirapine but with less NNRTI resistance development.

Detailed Description

Randomised open study comparing single dose nevirapine + 1 week of combivir with single dose nevirapine with one dose of truvada for the mothers during birth. In both arms the infants will receive one dose of nevirapine within the first days after births. N = 300. The study will be conducted at Ngamiani and Bombo Regional Hospital in Tanga, Tanzania as a cooperation between Rigshospitalet, Denmark, University of Copenhagen and National Institute of Medical Research, Tanzania.
