Purpose
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.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- frequency of mother-to-child HIV transmission [ Time Frame: 6 weeks post partum ]
- frequency of NNRTI resistance development [ Time Frame: 6 weeks post partum ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Comparison of p24 antigen to HIV RNA for treatment induced changes in viremia [ Time Frame: Delivery, day 7, day 42 and month 9 post partum ]
- Comparison of p24 antigen ability to detect viremia for the various subtypes A,C & D [ Time Frame: Delivery, Day 7, Day 42 post partum, mother, Day 42 and Day 90 post partum child ]

Detailed Description:
Randomised open study comparing Zidovudine from 28 weeks gestation, single dose Nevirapine + 1 week of Combivir with Zidovudine from 28 weeks gestation, single dose Nevirapine + single 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 as well as 7 to 28 days Zidovudine. N = 450. The study will be conducted at Ngamiani and Makorora Health Centres and Bombo Regional Hospital in Tanga, Tanzania as a cooperation between Rigshospitalet, Denmark, University of Copenhagen and National Institute of Medical Research, Tanzania.
