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.
