  • Preexposure Prophylaxis for HIV Infection among African Women

    Lut Van Damme, Amy Corneli et al.ARTICLENew England Journal of Medicine2012

    BACKGROUND: Preexposure prophylaxis with antiretroviral drugs has been effective in the prevention of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in some trials but not in others. METHODS: In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, we assigned 2120 HIV-negative women in Kenya, South Africa, and Tanzania to receive either a combination of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and emtricitabine (TDF-FTC) or placebo once daily. The primary…

  • Use of service data to inform pediatric HIV-free survival following prevention of mother-to-child transmission programs in rural Malawi

    Open AccessJustin Mandala, Tiwonge Moyo et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    When mothers and newborns received nevirapine, the estimated 24-month probability of HIV-free survival among children was high at 82% (CI: 54% to 99%). However this conclusion should be interpreted cautiously 1) due to the wide confidence interval; and 2) because the confidence interval range includes 55%, which is the natural HIV-free survival rate in the absence of a PMTCT intervention. This analysis highlighted the need of quality data and wel…

  • Is single-dose NVP relevant in the era of more efficacious PMTCT regimens? Lessons from Zambia

    Kwasi Torpey, Prisca Kasonde et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2010

    For almost a decade, single-dose nevirapine (sdNVP) has been proven to be a safe and effective drug for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV. With the advent of the use of more efficacious combination therapy strategy in reducing mother-to-child transmission, sdNVP has been relegated as a lower tier intervention. Availability of infrastructural capacity coupled with the practical reality that very few women attend an ante…

  • Prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV in Zambia

    Open AccessJustin Mandala, Kwasi Torpey et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2009

    Efficacious ARV regimens beyond sdNVP can be implemented in resource-constrained PHCs. The majority (73.0%) of women identified eligible for ART were initiated on cART; however, a minority (11.3%) of HIV-positive pregnant women were assessed for CD4 count and had their test results available. Factors associated with implementation of more efficacious ARV regimens include timing of blood-draw for CD4 count and capacity to initiate cART onsite wher…
