Gut bacteria study aims to shield HIV-exposed infants from deadly infections
NCT ID NCT07052409
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
Babies exposed to HIV in the womb but not infected are at higher risk for severe infections. This study tests whether giving a fermented milk supplement (Inkomasi) to pregnant mothers or to infants at 6 months can change the baby's gut bacteria to improve immune protection. Researchers will compare the gut microbes of 72 supplemented and non-supplemented mother-infant pairs.
