Background: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) in pregnancy was associated with a drastic reduction in HIV mother-to-child transmission (MTCT), although it was associated with neonatal adverse effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the neonatal effects to maternal ART. Methods: This study was a cohort of newborns from HIV pregnant women follow...

Introduction Significant progress of ART in HIV infection has led to a remarkable decline in mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV. However, the use of complex regimens can cause side effects to women and exposed children.The objective of this study was to evaluate side effects in pregnant women and their neonates exposed to ART at an universi...

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infects from 6 to 14% of HIV-infected individuals. Concurrent HIV/HBV infection occurs due to the overlapping routes of transmission, particularly sexual and parenteral.
