Using retrospectively collected data from 383 infants born to HIV-1-infected mothers receiving antiretroviral therapy, we compared transmission rates and hematologic toxicity between infants receiving 2-week (short course) versus longer duration zidovudine postexposure prophylaxis. Short course resulted in lower hematologic toxicity without evidence of increased vertical transmission risk.
