Background: HAART dramatically reduces mother-to-child transmission of HIV allowing vaginal delivery if the viral load is low. This study provides data for the optimum timing of short-term HAART in pregnancy.Methods: Retrospective multicentre cohort study of pregnant women commencing HAART in London and Brighton, UK. Demographics, gestation, drug class, CD4 cell count, and viral load results were collated. Survival curves for reaching a viral load less than 50 copies/ml were stratified by initial HIV viral load. Cox's proportional hazards regression model was adjusted for demographics and immunovirological parameters.Results: Viral load was less than 50 copies/ml in 292 of 378 pregnancies (77.2%) by delivery. Pretreatment viral load was associated with the time taken, and the proportion achieving a viral load less than 50 copies/ml at (P
