Item Impact of antenatal antiretroviral drug exposure on the growth of children who are HIV-exposed uninfected: The national South African prevention of mother to child evaluation cohort study(BMC, 2022) Vundli, Ramakolo; Kuhn, Louise; Lombard, CarlBackground: The relationship between in-utero antiretroviral (ARV) drug exposure and child growth needs further study as current data provide mixed messages. We compared postnatal growth in the first 18-months of life between children who are HIV-exposed uninfected (CHEU) with fetal exposure to ARV drugs (prophylaxis or triple-drug therapy (ART)) and CHEU not exposed to ARVs. We also examined other independent predictors of postnatal growth.
