Note. “---” indicates the ARV was not evaluated because too few children (< 5%) were exposed to it. General linear regression models were adjusted for all child and maternal covariates with p < 0.10, as follows: WPPSI-III Verbal IQ (household income, caregiver FSIQ, alcohol use during pregnancy, and tobacco use during pregnancy); WPPSI-III Performance IQ (race, birth year, number of people in the household, maternal age at delivery, caregiver FSIQ, and alcohol use during pregnancy); WASI Verbal IQ (age at testing, child's primary language, number of people in the household, household income, caregiver FSIQ, illicit drug use during pregnancy, and maternal first CD4% during pregnancy); WASI Performance IQ (caregiver's primary language, caregiver FSIQ, caregiver postnatal substance abuse, and number of caregiver functional imitations); WIAT-II-A Word Reading (sex, age at testing, birth year, number of people in the household, caregiver FSIQ, alcohol use during pregnancy, and maternal last CD4% during pregnancy); WIAT-II-A Spelling (sex, age at testing, birth year, number of people in the household, caregiver FSIQ, alcohol use during pregnancy, and maternal last CD4% during pregnancy); WIAT-II-A Numerical Operations (age at testing, caregiver's primary language, and caregiver FSIQ). Participants with missing information about ARV regimens were excluded from the calculations of exposure prevalence, as follows: WPPSI-III (1), WASI (13), and WIAT-II-A (13).
