Brief summary
This is a prospective, multi-center, longitudinal, mother-infant pair, therapeutic drug monitoring study. The aim of this study is to determine concentrations of antiretroviral drugs in plasma and breastmilk in people living with HIV who chose to breastfeed while using antiretrovirals. At a planned hospital visit an extra maternal blood sample (1 to 2 per visit) and extra infant blood sample (1 per visit) will be collected, as well as a breastmilk sample (1 to 2 per visit). Ideally, sample collection will take place at least during the 1, 3 and 6 month post partum follow up visit. Measured concentrations will be used to calculate milk to plasma ratios, relative and absolute infant dosages.
Interventions

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Breastmilk to maternal plasma ratio | 6 months post partum | Total concentration of antiretrovirals in breastmilk and plasma of the mother at a single time point to determine milk to plasma ratio. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Absolute infant dose | 6 months post partum | (AID; µg/kg/day) = Cmilk \* Vmilk |
| Relative infant dose | 6 months post partum | Dosage infant (AID)/dosage mother |
| Comparison of absolute infant dose to approved pediatric dose | 6 months post partum | For agents approved for pediatric use the absolute infant dose is compared to the approved pediatric dose (abacavir, emtricitabine, lamivudine, zidovudine, efavirenz, nevirapine, atazanavir, lopinavir, maraviroc, dolutegravir, raltegravir, ritonavir) |
| Viral load in breastmilk | 6 months post partum | HIV RNA (copies/ml) |
