ZIDO reduces risk from 30 to 80% from 14 weeks as i believe zido s a noted teratogen...but benefit overweighs risk.............so i guess 20 - 80% is transmission risks interpreting isnt it?

ZID reduces the transmission rate from 25% to 8% when used in pregnant women. Not sure whether it applies to vaginal or C-section.
