A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerance of Nelfinavir (NFV) Given With Zidovudine (ZDV) and Lamivudine (3TC) in HIV-Positive Pregnant Women and Their Infants

Summary

The purpose of this study is to see if giving nelfinavir (NFV) plus zidovudine (ZDV) plus lamivudine (3TC) to HIV-positive pregnant women and their babies is safe. This study will also look at how long these drugs stay in the blood. ZDV has been given to mothers in the past to reduce the chances of passing HIV on to their babies. However, better treatments are needed to further reduce these chances and to better suit the treatment needs of mothers and their children. Taking a combination of anti-HIV drugs during pregnancy may be an answer.
