Antiretroviral therapy with zidovudine during pregnancy, delivery, and to the newborn in combination with Cesarean section has markedly reduced the rate of mother-to-child transmission of HIV-1 in industrialized countries. These strategies are not realistic in the less developed world. Nevertheless, short-term antiretroviral therapy during delivery and shortly after birth has proven feasible as a means of reducing the rate of vertical transmission in less developed countries, in some studies even in combination with exclusive breast-feeding. The risks and benefits of breast-feeding among HIV-1 infected mothers are discussed.
