  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to examine effective methods of preventing the transmission of HIV from mother to child during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. This is one part of the three-part PROMISE study. This study will be conducted at resource-limited locations in Africa and other parts of the world where women typically receive a short course of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) during pregnancy and where formula feeding (FF) is standard.
