Abbreviations: AZT, zidovudine; BAN, Breastfeeding, Antiretrovirals and Nutrition study; CI, confidence interval; HIV-1, human immunodeficiency virus type 1; NVP, nevirapine; PEPI, Post-Exposure Prophylaxis of the Infant study; SWEN, Six-Week Extended Nevirapine study.

a Proportional hazards models with each risk factor as the sole covariate, stratified by trial site. Infant NVP 6 weeks vs control using SWEN data only, stratified by trial site; infant NVP 14 weeks vs control and infant NPV + AZT 14 weeks vs control using PEPI data only; infant NVP 28 weeks vs control using BAN data only.

b Proportional hazards models adjusted for all variables listed, stratified by trial site.

c Test for proportional hazards assumption 0.025 <P < .05 for all models with infant NPV + AZT; for all other covariates and models P > .05.
