Abstract
The South African National Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV programme has resulted in significant
reductions in vertical transmission, but new infant HIV infections continue to occur. We present two cases of HIV seroconversion
during late pregnancy, demonstrating the limitations of the current programme. These could be mitigated by expanding the
programme to include maternal testing at delivery and at immunisation clinic visits as we pursue the elimination of mother-tochild
transmission.
