Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine whether providing zidovudine ZDV and didanosine ddI during labor and for one month postpartum can reduce the selection of nevirapine NVP resistance mutations postpartum in women who received a single dose of nevirapine during labor and standard ZDV prophylaxis for the prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV
Detailed Description: A single nevirapine dose to the mother with or without a dose to the child in addition to oral ZDV prophylaxis starting from 28 weeks gestation has been proven to be highly effective in reducing further mother-to-child HIV transmission PMTCT

However post exposure nevirapine resistance mutations are observed in the mothers viral population These mutations detectable very early after exposure tend to disappear over time

Nevertheless they may be associated with decrease in efficacy of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor NNRTI containing regimens subsequently given to the women for their own health

Therefore there is a need for research to prevent selection of resistance in the first place or to overcome the resistance in subsequent treatment of the infected mother or infant

Nevirapine plasma levels above IC50 have been detected in women exposed to a single 200 mg dose of nevirapine in a significant number of women during the third week postpartum

We hypothesize that giving ZDVddI to women exposed to nevirapine for one month as soon as possible after exposure may prevent the selection of nevirapine resistance mutations
