Article Synopsis
- - Between 2010 and 2015, global antiretroviral therapy coverage for pregnant women with HIV saw a significant increase, but only a minimal rise occurred from 2016 to 2020.
- - A study in Tanzania from January to December 2022 found a 2.48% prevalence of vertical transmission of HIV among infants exposed to the virus, with key findings highlighting the importance of antiretroviral prophylaxis.
- - Infants not receiving antiretroviral prophylaxis had significantly higher odds of contracting HIV, indicating that maternal use of antiretroviral therapy during pregnancy plays a critical role in reducing transmission rates.
