The data sharing statement is incorrect. The correct statement is: The data are bound by ethical and legal restrictions. To access the data of the South Africa's Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission Effective study, investigators that are not part of the study team should submit a concept proposal to Thu-Ha Dinh, MD, MS (US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Principal investigator), Ameena Goga, MD, MS (South Africa Medical Research Council (MRC), Principal Investigator) and Debra Jackson (University of the Western Cape/UNICEF, Principal Investigator) for approval. Investigators with an approved concept proposal must apply for guest researcher status obtain access to a workstation and the data. Additionally they will need to complete data security and confidentiality training, and to sign data use and nondisclosure agreements.

Impact of Maternal HIV Seroconversion during Pregnancy on Early Mother to Child Transmission of HIV (MTCT) Measured at 4-8 Weeks Postpartum in South Africa 2011-2012: A National Population-Based Evaluation
BACKGROUND Mother-to-child transmission of HIV (MTCT) depends on the timing of HIV infection. We estimated HIV-seroconversion during pregnancy (HSP) after having a HIV-negative result antenatally, and its contribution to early MTCT in South Africa (SA). METHODS AND FINDINGS Between August 2011 and March 2012, we recruited a nationally representative sample of mother-infant pairs with infants ...
متن کاملPopulation–level effectiveness of PMTCT Option A on early mother–to–child (MTCT) transmission of HIV in South Africa: implications for eliminating MTCT
BACKGROUND Eliminating mother-to-child transmission of HIV (EMTCT), defined as ≤50 infant HIV infections per 100 000 live births, is a global priority. Since 2011 policies to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) shifted from maternal antiretroviral (ARV) treatment or prophylaxis contingent on CD4 cell count to lifelong maternal ARV treatment (cART). We sought to measure progress ...
متن کاملStructural Level Differences in the Mother-to-Child HIV Transmission Rate in South Africa: A Multilevel Assessment of Individual-, Health Facility-, and Provincial-Level Predictors of Infant HIV Transmission
OBJECTIVES In 2010, South Africa reported an early mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) rate of 3.5% at 4-8 weeks postpartum. Provincial early MTCT rates ranged from 1.4% [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.1 to 3.4] to 5.9% (95% CI: 3.8 to 8.0). We sought to determine reasons for these geographic differences in MTCT rates. METHODS This study used multilevel modeling using 2010 South African prev...
متن کاملReasons for failure of prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission in a rural South African district hospital
Further reduction of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV requires improved understanding of the reasons for MTCT. We reviewed maternal and infant case notes for HIV-positive infants diagnosed by polymerase chain reaction at Bethesda Hospital. Nineteen cases were analysed. Median gestation at first antenatal consultation (ANC) was 22.5 (interquartile range [IQR] 19.25-24). Eleven (57.9%) ...
متن کاملPrevention of Mother to Child HIV Transmission
In Iran 8% of HIV- infected cases are women. Since most of them are young and in childbearing ages, in case of becoming pregnant and not receiving preventive measures, they can infect their child. Without Preventive measures transmission rate is 15 to 45 percent. Several factors such as sever stage of HIV and AIDS ,CD4 low count, high viral loud, acute retroviral phase, STDs, vaginal delivery, ...
