  • Title: Studies look at approaches other than antiretovirals.
    Journal: AIDS Alert; 1998 Apr; 13(4):43-4. PubMed ID: 11365142.
    Abstract:
    With short-course AZT therapies becoming more frequent in developing countries, the impact of antiretroviral therapy for breast-feeding women will become a more critical research area. The only controlled trial of breast-feeding vs. formula feeding is underway in Nairobi; however, at least 24 months will be needed to determine HIV transmission rates from breast-feeding. Other approaches for preventing perinatal transmissions currently being studied include Vitamin A supplementation in Africa, vaginal cleansing, antiviral suppositories, and cesarean section.
