title: From research to implementation: challenges in the prevention of mother to child HIV transmission in the developing world.
abstract: Scientific research has identified anti-retroviral regimens effective in the prevention of mother to child HIV transmission. Yet, 1800 HIV-infected infants are born every day. The majority of HIV-infected women live in developing countries where challenges to widespread implementation of these regimens have prevented decreases in pediatric HIV infection from being realized.
