In addition, she is involved in an operational research project about prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV in rural India, and she directs the perinatal protocol of the NICHD International Site Development Initiative (NISDI), which, in collaboration with in-country investigators, is providing a description of the risks and benefits of antiretroviral therapy and interventions to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV in Latin America and the Caribbean.
