CROI: PREGNANCY AND MTCT

Introduction to MTCT studies

---

There were many studies to report on relating to pregnancy and MTCT at CROI this year and the studies below will add to our understanding of how to move forward.

In the conference opening plenary, Doug Richman emphasised that, “regimens (including those for MTCT) that are slightly more costly on a daily basis might be much less costly over the long term for the individual and the population.” We share his view.

Meanwhile, data, reported in a poster from Townsend et al. shows almost negligible transmission risk for a well-managed HIV-positive woman delivering in the UK today.
