Growth and Neurodevelopment Outcomes in HIV-, Tenofovir-, and Efavirenz-Exposed Breastfed Infants in the PMTCT Option B plus Program in Malawi

Atupele P. Kapito-Tembo et al.

Summary: Research on infants of HIV-infected mothers exposed to ARVs containing EFV and TDF through breastfeeding found no significant adverse effects on growth, neurodevelopment, renal, or bone outcomes. Data supports the safety of breastfeeding through 18 months within the Option B+ program.

Growth patterns and clinical outcomes in association with breastfeeding duration in HIV exposed and unexposed infants: a cohort study in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa

Larisha Pillay et al.

Summary: The study found that HIV exposed and uninfected (HEU) infants are at a higher risk of infectious morbidity and decreased growth trajectories, but these outcomes are independent of breastfeeding duration.

Growth Faltering and Developmental Delay in HIV-Exposed Uninfected Ugandan Infants: A Prospective Cohort Study

Reshma Sirajee et al.

Summary: The study found that growth faltering in HEU infants was associated with lower attainment of developmental milestones at age 18 months, with failure to thrive specifically linked to lower developmental scores, indicating a need for early developmental intervention in this population.

Lower birth weight-for-age and length-for-age z-scores in infants with in-utero HIV and ART exposure: a prospective study in Cape Town, South Africa

Dorothy C. Nyemba et al.

Summary: The study compared birth anthropometrics of HIV-exposed but uninfected (HEU) and HIV-unexposed (HU) infants in Cape Town, South Africa, finding that HEU infants had lower birth weight-for-age (WAZ). Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms and clinical significance of these differences.

Comparing growth velocity of HIV exposed and non-exposed infants: An observational study of infants enrolled in a randomized control trial in Zambia

Obvious Nchimunya Chilyabanyama et al.

Summary: The study compared the growth trajectory rate and characteristics among HIV exposed uninfected (HEU) and HIV unexposed uninfected (HUU) children under two years old in Zambia, finding no difference in growth trajectories between the two groups, but poor linear growth was universal and profound in both cohorts, potentially already occurring in utero.
