The first sentence in paragraph four should read, "For women with suboptimal suppression of HIV-1 RNA (i.e.,
>1,000 copies/mL) near the time of delivery despite having received prenatal ZDV prophylaxis with or without
combination antiretroviral therapy, it is not known if administration of additional antiretroviral drugs during labor and delivery provides added protection against perinatal transmission."
The third and fourth sentences in paragraph six should read, "However, the appropriate dosage and short- and
long-term safety of many antiretroviral agents in the neonate has not been established. The half-lives of ZDV, 3TC, and nevirapine are prolonged during the neonatal period because of immature liver metabolism and renal function, requiring specific
dosing adjustments when these agents are administered to neonates."
