Full Title:  Phase II, Parallel, Randomized, Clinical Trials Comparing the Responses to Initiation of  NNRTI-Based Versus PI-Based Antiretroviral Therapy in HIV-Infected Infants Who Have and Have Not Previously Received Single Dose Nevirapine for Prevention of Mother-to-Child HIV Transmission



 



A single dose of nevirapine (SD NVP) given to an HIV infected pregnant woman followed by a single dose to her infant has been shown to be an effective way of reducing the risk of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-based antiretroviral regimen versus a protease inhibitor (PI)-based regimen in HIV infected infants who had or had not been exposed to SD NVP for prevention of MTCT.
