Within the context of the historic development of drugs to treat HIV infection, there is perhaps no subject that has created more controversy than the use of these agents to interrupt the mother-tochild transmission (MTCT) of HIV-1. No one now takes issue with the fact that the AIDS Clinical Trials Group Protocol 076—in which zidovudine (ZDV), given to the mother pre-and intrapartum and to the infant for the first 6 weeks of life, reduced MTCT of HIV-1 by 70%—has been one of the most noteworthy advances in treatment of the past 20 years [1]. However, the development phase of that protocol was fraught with intense debate, particularly with respect to the ethics of the trial. The reduction in MTCT of HIV-1 from 25% to 8% immediately led to changes in public health policy in the developed world and, with the subsequent application of potent combinations of antiretroviral drugs for the mother and judicious use of caesarean section, neonatal HIV-1 infection is now a rare event in resource-unconstrained settings. During the past 2 years, a revolutionary commitment to bring the life-saving benefits of antiretroviral treatment to the developing world has been evident. The President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, the World Health Organization’s 3 5 Initiative, and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria are the most publicized aspects of this effort. However, well before these recent actions to provide treatment to millions of persons with HIV, clinical researchers around the world were attempting to develop more cost-effective strategies than the relatively complex 076 regimen to reduce MTCT of HIV-1. A number of strategies have been tested, but the one that has had the greatest impact and has created the greatest stir is the use of single-dose nevirapine (SD-NVP). In 1999, the HIV Network for Prevention Trials (HIVNET) 012 trial, performed in Uganda, reported that a single 200-mg dose of NVP given to the mother at the time of delivery followed by a single 2-mg/kg dose given to the infant within 72 h of birth resulted in a reduction in MTCT of 50% at 14–16 weeks after treatment, compared with a short course of ZDV, and its persistent benefit extended to 18 months after treatment [2, 3]. This result was hailed as a dramatic breakthrough, because it was an easy regimen to administer, was inexpensive, required no additional health care infrastructure, and could potentially be deployed widely and rapidly in even the most rural of settings. In recent months, the HIVNET 012 trial has come under renewed scrutiny [4], prompting an Institute of Medicine review. As with any new medical intervention, whether prophylactic or therapeutic, there are inevitable trade-offs. No major safety issues have arisen for mothers or infants who have received SD-NVP. However, the emergence of drug resistance in the setting of SD-NVP has created a gradually increasing challenge to the scientific, clinical research, and public health communities. In retrospect, it is not surprising that mutations associated with nonnucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) resistance would emerge with the administration of a drug for which the occurrence of rapid, single-step, high-level resistance and a prolonged half-life have been described for years [5]. It is also important to remember that the replication kinetics of HIV and the nature of reverse transcription result in a constant and inevitable mutation rate in the viral genome, such that drug resistance–associated mutations occur in the absence of exposure to any drug. The occurrence of new mutations during and after exposure to a drug is greatly facilitated by the selective pressure of an antiretroviral agent, particularly if it is …
