Antiretroviral Management for Infants With In Utero or Intrapartum HIV Exposure by Risk of HIV Transmission

In this situation, decision making guided by the clinical scenario is recommended. See table Neonatal Antiretroviral Management According to Risk of HIV Infection .
† ZDV prophylaxis is administered for 6 weeks total even if other medications are given for a shorter duration.
