Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

More than 150,000 babies became infected with HIV in 2015 alone. When HIV drugs are started before or early in pregnancy, HIV positive women can give birth to HIV negative baby. This is possible because HIV drugs can reduce the amount of the virus in the body to the extent that they become undetectable by the time of delivery and during the breastfeeding period. However, some women do not start taking these drugs on time because they become infected during pregnancy or lactation. This leads to detectable virus at the time of delivery and puts the baby at risk of becoming infected. Also, the amounts of HIV drugs in the body have to be at certain levels for them to work effectively. But findings from some research have recently showed that pregnancy increases the rate at which the body removes some HIV drugs used to prevent the transfer of HIV from mother to child. While this may not cause any problem in women with no detectable virus before pregnancy, it may affect the rate at which the HIV virus is removed from the body in those starting treatment late and may put the baby at risk. This project will investigate whether the changes in drug exposure caused by pregnancy or other factors have any effect on the rate at which the HIV virus is removed from the body. HIV positive pregnant women and those who recently delivered will be recruited from different hospitals and follow up will be until breastfeeding ends. The investigators will not be involved in treatment decisions and the primary care provider will be responsible for prescribing antiretroviral regimen based on current guidelines. Samples will be collected to measure levels of the virus and the drugs in three fluids that transfer the virus to the baby: blood, genital fluid, and breastmilk. The HIV status of the babies will be monitored until they stop breastfeeding.
