Renaud M, Kresse E, Haywood M. 1997. Profiles of activities to reduce perinatal transmission of HIV: Assessing the response. Washington, DC: United States Conference of Mayors, 115 pp.

Annotation: This report assesses the responses of seven health care provider sites to the findings by a pediatric AIDS trial clinic that the drug zidovudine (ZDV), also known as AZT, can reduce perinatal transmission of HIV by as much as two thirds when administered to women during pregnancy and delivery to infants for six weeks after birth. It identifies the range of strategies and activities undertaken and also sheds lights on contextual factors that affected the responses and addresses their implications.
