NOTE. Only significant factors (p<0.05) were retained in multivariate model. aOR, adjusted odds ratio; BF, breastfeeding; CI, confidence interval; FF, formula-feeding; HAART, highly-active antiretroviral therapy; HIV-1, human immunodeficiency virus, type I; ZDV, zidovudine; 3TC, lamivudine.

Wald chi-square.

b

Botswana normative tables [Botswana Harvard AIDS Institute Partnership, unpublished data]

c

Calculated using maternal weight measured one-month postpartum.

d

Analysis for maternal HAART is restricted to only HAART-BF group.

e

Includes one infant who mother took stavudine, lamivudine, and nevirapine for antenatal HAART.

f

To avoid confounding effect of prematurity, analysis for duration of antenatal HAART is restricted to term infants in the HAART-BF group.
