Detectable vs. Undetectable | 2.7 | (1.4, 5.4) | 7.4 | (3.2, 17.1) | 2.9 | (1.0, 8.4) | 3.8 | (1.2, 12.1) |

Maternal ARV: Detectable vs. Undetectable | 5.6 | (2.5, 12.7) | 7.8 | (3.1, 19.2) | 4.8 | (1.5, 15.8) | 4.4 | (1.3, 15.2) |
Infant NVP: Detectable vs. Undetectable | 3.9 | (0.8, 18.0) | 6.0 | (1.2, 31.4) | 2.8 | (0.5, 15.0) | 2.9 | (0.5, 17.7) |
Combined maternal and infant arm models contained no confounding variables. Viral load by study arm models contained study arm and an interaction term between breastmilk viral load and study arm.
Adjusted for continuous baseline maternal age, baseline maternal CD4+, baseline maternal hemoglobin level, and baseline maternal plasma viral load. Study arm was included as a confounding variable in combined maternal and infant arm models. Viral load by study arm models included an interaction term between breastmilk viral load and study arm.
