New hope to stop HIV passing from mom to baby

NCT ID NCT02245022

Summary

This study tested a newer HIV medication called dolutegravir in pregnant women who were diagnosed late in pregnancy. The goal was to see if the drug was safe for both mother and baby, how it moved through their bodies, and if it could quickly lower the mother's virus levels to help prevent passing HIV to the infant during birth. It compared the new drug to the standard HIV medications used during pregnancy.
