Combination prophylaxis defined as at least two ARV drugs received in the first 8 weeks of life, compared to either monotherapy (primarily ZDV) or ZDV+SD NVP.

a

Univariable associations are only shown for those predictors retained in the final adjusted multivariable model.

b

Latest measure before or at labor/delivery.

ARV, antiretroviral; CI, confidence interval; SD NVP, single-dose nevirapine; ZDV, zidovudine.
