E-drug: Perinatal prevention of HIV with 2 drugs  
---------------------------------------------

[Warning long message! This important article  
provides the rationale for using 2 ARV drugs for  
the perinatal prevention of mother to child  
transmission. Zidovudine is combined with  
nevirapine to reduce the development of  
resistance. This week's New England Journal of  
Medicine - see next posting - follows up . BS]

&nbsp;&nbsp;Prior Nevirapine Exposure for Pregnant women can  
contribute to treatment failure
