Abstract
- The author comments on the study by Goetghebuer et al that investigated risks of infant infection-related hospitalization in a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-exposed uninfected infants (HEU) cohort compared to HIV-unexposed (HU). The study established that initiation of maternal antiretroviral therapy before pregnancy reduced these risks. It notes that this study in high-income country with low HIV prevalence can not be generalized among poorer countries where most HEU children are born.
