Profile of birth outcomes, antiretroviral-adherence, and virologic control near delivery in a cohort of naïve and experienced pregnant people living with HIV in a PMTCT Center
This study investigated virologic suppression and antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence in pregnant people living with HIV (PLWH) at a Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) unit.
