Maternal Combination Antiretroviral Therapy is Associated with Improved Retention of HIV-Exposed Infants in Kinshasa Democratic Republic of Congo

摘要

BackgroundPrograms to prevent mother-to-child HIV transmission (PMTCT) are plagued by loss to follow-up (LTFU) of HIV-exposed infants. We assessed if providing combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) to HIV-infected mothers was associated with reduced LTFU of their HIV-exposed infants in Kinshasa, DR Congo.
