Having greater than or equal to 90% pill count or bottle weight adherence is considered adherent; less than 90% adherence is considered non-adherent.
Adjusted for maternal age, CD4+, hemoglobin, and time-dependent reported breastfeeding status. Study arm was included as a confounding variable in combined maternal and infant regimen models. Adherence by study arm models included an interaction term between adherence and study arm.
