Vannappagari et al, 20th International AIDS Conference; July 20-25, 2014; Melbourne, Australia. Poster #5647 Results Prevalence of and risk for VSD and CHD among infants exposed to ZDV-containing regimens is no different from infants exposed to non-ZDV ARV regimens Among those exposed to ZDV-containing regimens there is no difference in rate of VSD or CHD by trimester of earliest exposure.
