I just went to make sure I got this right:
If you are HIV + and pregnant.. you start Zidovudine immediately (1st trimester) to prevent transmission as prophylaxsis (does anyone know the risk if you start it later... 1st versus 2nd versus 3rd trimester?)
At birth, mommy gets NNRTI Nevirapine and so does baby. That's it?
This is all assuming mom doesn't want to go on HAART therapy right? I mean ideally that's what mommy would be on.
