Abstract
Trends in the vertical transmission rate of HIV and evolving antiretroviral usage between 1990 and 1998 within the Women and Infants Transmission Stud y were evaluated. A decline in mother-infant transmission was temporally as sociated with advances in therapy, especially when regimens including a pro tease inhibitor were included in the analysis.
