Safety and Efficacy of HIV Hyperimmune Globulin for Prevention of Mother-to-Child HIV Transmission in HIV-1–Infected Pregnant Women and Their Infants in Kampala, Uganda (HIVIGLOB/NVP STUDY)

Abstract

Giving mother-infant pairs an infusion of peripartum HIV hyperimmune globulin in addition to sdNVP for preventing maternal-to-child transmission was as safe as sdNVP alone but was no more effective than sdNVP alone in preventing HIV transmission.
