NEW EPISODE #ScienceinContext! This week, @eonore.bsky.social is joined by @mkwalters3.bsky.social to speak about HIV, vertical transmission, the impact of starting ART before & during pregnancy, and the importance of testing & treatment throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding 👇

Excited to share this preprint as an inaugural bluesky post!
🔑 findings:
-Perinatal vertical HIV transmission (VT) probability is lowest (~0.33%) and viral suppression is highest among women who are on ART before pregnancy
-Women on INSTI regimens have lower risk of VT than women on NNRTIs
