AB Four methods of estimating mother-to-child transmission rates of human
immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), based on the 1992 Ghent workshop,
were compared in a multicenter New York City prospective cohort study in
1986-1992. Of 833 infants born to women at risk of HIV-1 infection, 388
were born HIV-1 seropositive and 445 were HIV-1 seronegative. The four
methods, the Antibody Only, Indirect, Direct, and Virologic Methods,
yielded transmission rate estimates of 19-25%, classifying 59-89% of the
cohort. Estimation based on persistence of HIV-1 antibody and clinical
assessment yielded transmission rates similar to those methods that
incorporated virologic testing.
