- Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: During study period and 30 days post-study. ]AE=any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. SAE =any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, results in development of drug dependency or drug abuse, is an important medical event.
- Number of Participants With Grade 2 to Grade 4 AEs and SAEs [ Time Frame: During Study Period and 30 Days Post-Study. ]AEs and SAEs considered possibly, probably, or certainly related to study treatment, were graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 3.0 (Grade 1=Mild, Grade 2=Moderate, Grade 3=Severe, Grade 4=Life-threatening or disabling, Grade 5=Death). Hyperbilirubinemia (Grade 1=1.1 to 1.5 upper limit of normal [ULN] [mild], Grade 2=1.6 to 2.5 ULN [moderate], Grade 3=2.6 to 5.0 ULN [severe], Grade 4= > 5.0 ULN [potentially life threatening]).
- SAEs in Enrolled Mothers [ Time Frame: During Study Period and 30 Days Post-Study. ]SAEs were evaluated for all treated and untreated participants. An SAE was defined as an untoward medical occurrence that results in death, is life-threatening (defined as an event in which the participant was at risk of death at the time of the event); might have caused death if it were more severe, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, an important medical event that required intervention to prevent serious outcomes.
- SAEs in Enrolled Infants [ Time Frame: Birth Through Week 16 of Life ]SAEs were evaluated for all treated and untreated participants. An SAE was defined as an untoward medical occurrence that results in death, is life-threatening (defined as an event in which the participant was at risk of death at the time of the event); might have caused death if it were more severe, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, an important medical event that required intervention to prevent serious outcomes.
- Mean Atazanavir Maternal Plasma Concentration and Neonatal Cord Blood Concentration [ Time Frame: At Time of Delivery ]Mean atazanavir maternal plasma concentration and neonatal cord blood concentration as measured at the time of delivery.
- Median Infant Total Bilirubin Level [ Time Frame: Birth (Day 1), Day 3, Day 5, and Day 7 of Life ]Median infant total bilirubin level as measured at specified time points.
- Mean Atazanavir Plasma Protein Binding [ Time Frame: Pregnancy Weeks 28 to Delivery at 3 Hours Postdose and 24 Hours Postdose, and Time of Delivery ]Atazanavir Plasma Protein Binding Percentage measured at specified time points.
- Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS) Participant Adherence to Regimen and Drug Components for ATV 300 mg / RTV 100 mg Test Dose [ Time Frame: Study Week 2, Pregnancy Weeks 20 to Weeks 28, Pregnancy Weeks 28 to Delivery, Week 2 Postpartum, Week 4 Postpartum ]The MACS was administered to evaluate participant adherence to each drug and the adherence to the regimen. The MACS adherence questionnaire asks patients how many medication doses they missed during the previous day, 2 days, 3 days and 4 days. Drug-specific questions included adherence with dose and frequency. Adherence was defined as taking all doses and numbers of pills as prescribed for each medication. This strict adherence cut-off was based on the guidelines stating that anything less than excellent adherence may result in a virus breakthrough and development of resistance.
