Objective: With the World Health Organization's (WHO) implementation of the "test and treat all" policy in 2016, there should have been a great change in mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and its determinants. This study aimed to assess MTCT of HIV after the adoption of the universal "test and treat" policy. Materials and Methods: A retrospective cohort study of HIV-exposed infants (HEIs) between the ages of 6 weeks to 18 months enrolled from 1 January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2021. The study was carried out at the "Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission" center (PMTCT) of the HIV unit, Regional Hospital Bamenda (RHB) of the Northwest region of Cameroon. Data was col- lected from files with the aid of predesigned data collection forms. Results: During the study, out of the 294 HEIs included, 13 were positive, giving a frequency of 4.4%. Not taking antiretrovirals by the mother, or taking them 4 weeks prior to delivery, or after delivery, mixed feeding, and breastfeeding duration greater than 12 months were determinants of MTCT of HIV. Also, 4 out of the 294 exposed infants died, giving a death rate of 1.4%. No fac- tor analyzed was found to be significantly associated with the death rate of HEIs at 18 months. Conclusion: This study showed a reduction in the frequency of MTCT of HIV due to the imple- mentation and adoption of the universal "test and treat" policy. Also, starting maternal anti- retroviral treatment after delivery and a breastfeeding duration greater than 12 months were associated with MTCT of HIV.
目的
随着世界卫生组织(WHO)在2016年实施“全面检测与治疗”政策,人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)的母婴传播(MTCT)及其决定因素应已发生巨大变化。本研究旨在评估普遍实施“检测与治疗”政策后的HIV母婴传播情况。材料与方法:对2017年1月1日至2021年12月31日期间登记的6周龄至18月龄的HIV暴露婴儿(HEIs)进行回顾性队列研究。该研究在喀麦隆西北地区巴门达地区医院(RHB)HIV科室的“预防母婴传播”中心(PMTCT)开展。借助预先设计的数据收集表从档案中收集数据。结果:在研究期间,纳入的294名HEIs中,13名呈阳性,频率为4.4%。母亲未服用抗逆转录病毒药物、在分娩前4周或分娩后服用、混合喂养以及母乳喂养持续时间超过12个月是HIV母婴传播的决定因素。此外,294名暴露婴儿中有4名死亡,死亡率为1.4%。未发现所分析的因素与18月龄HEIs的死亡率有显著关联。结论:本研究表明,由于普遍实施和采用“检测与治疗”政策,HIV母婴传播频率有所降低。此外,分娩后开始母亲抗逆转录病毒治疗以及母乳喂养持续时间超过12个月与HIV母婴传播有关。
