Includes bibliographical references. Despite two decades of studies of mother to child transmission of HIV, very little data is available regarding vertical transmission in twin pregnancies. There is uncertainty whether discordance of HIV transmission exists between the first born (Twin A) and second born (Twin B) infant. Primary aim of the study was to examine if there is any discordance of HIV transmission in twin pregnancies when comparing Twin A to Twin B. Secondary objectives were to identify possible additional risk factors for HIV transmission in twin pregnancies. We assessed antenatal care, antiretroviral therapy, birth order, delivery route and feeding options as risk factors for mother to child transmission of HIV in twin pregnancies. 2014-07-28T14:48:32Z 2014-07-28T14:48:32Z 2013 Master Thesis Masters MMed http://hdl.handle.net/11427/3040 eng application/pdf Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
