HIV & AIDS

These reviews cover important interventions related to HIV/AIDS and delivery. One review emphasizes the value of short-course zidovudine and single-dose nevirapine in reducing mother-to-child transmission of HIV. Another review reports that delivery by elective caesarean section reduces mother-to-child-transmission of HIV-1. The commentary on yet another review points out that available evidence does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the effect of vaginal lavage in preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV.
