Abstract
Cases of mother-to-child-transmission in the Surveillance Monitoring of ART Toxicities Study of Pediatric HIV/AIDS Cohort Study were identified from 2007 to 2015. Among 2123 births, 9 infants were HIV infected, giving a mother-to-child-transmission rate of 0.5% (95% confidence interval: 0.3%-1.0%). Mothers with perinatal HIV infections had a higher mother-to-child-transmission rate (1.1%; 95% confidence interval: 0.3%-4.3%) than mothers without perinatal HIV infections (0.4%; 95% confidence interval: 0.2%-1.0%), associated with a greater likelihood of detectable viral load at delivery.
