Mini review: Prevention of mother–child transmission of HIV: 25 years of continuous progress toward the eradication of pediatric AIDS?

Abstract: Prevention of mother-to-child transmission with antiretrovirals is extraordinarily effective. When medically well followed, a mother living with human immunodeficiency virus can now expect to avoid transmitting the virus to her child. Despite the immense difficulties inherent in the global implementation of this treatment, the virtual disappearance of pediatric AIDS can be considered in the long term. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Antiretroviral treatment can prevent and control HIV transmission by suppressing the amount of virus in the blood plasma even without eliminating the virus from the body [5,6]. To maintain viral suppression, people living with HIV must take antiretroviral drugs for a long life through Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).…”

“…1 New childhood infections mainly occur due to mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) during pregnancy, birthing, and breastfeeding. 2 Many infants may be exposed prenatally or postnatally, but do not acquire HIV due to the effective use of antiretroviral treatment (ART) in MTCT prevention programs. 2 Newborns, if not yet infected, can remain HIV and ART exposed with an unconfirmed HIV status until 18 months, or until post-cessation of breastfeeding.…”

“…We detail the epidemiological and clinical features of maternal-fetal listeriosis and present its pathophysiology [8,9,15,16]. Finally, Blanche reviews the stunning achievements that led to the control of congenital HIV, which started in the mid-nineties when zidovudine was proven effective in reducing vertical infection, and continues with the ongoing efforts in screening and organizing the care of pregnant women at a global scale [17].…”
