Abbreviations: ANC, antenatal care; aOR, adjusted odds ratio; ART, antiretroviral therapy; ARV, antiretroviral drug; CI, confidence interval; HEU, HIV-exposed-uninfected; HUU, HIV-unexposed; Ref, reference category; ZDV, Zidovudine.

aThe values in the models are aOR (95% CI).

bModel included 6214 HIV-exposed and -unexposed infants.

cModel included 1839 HIV-exposed-uninfected infants.

dExcept for the asterisk below, the P values in this table are t test P values. The 5% significance level was used in all analyses.

*This P value is derived from the joint hypothesis testing adjusted Wald test.
