“…These findings are important in the context of Option B+, which provides lifelong antiretroviral therapy to pregnant and/or lactating women as soon as HIV is diagnosed, regardless of their baseline CD4 count, as recommended by the WHO (34,35). Although Option B+ aids considerably in the Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission program in resource-limited countries with a high prevalence of HIV, it has been shown that micronutrients such as vitamin D and B-12 can be negatively affected by antiretrovirals based on lower plasma concentrations (36)(37)(38). These observations call attention to the need to measure effects of Option B+ on maternal and infant vitamin status.…”

“…In a recent systematic review, Childs et al [37] estimated the vitamin D deficiency prevalence in the population with HIV to be between 23% and 73%. In this review, factors that linked HIV infection and vitamin D deficiency were former drug use, a longer time from diagnoses, CD4 below 200 cells/µL, highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), and efavirenz use.…”
