MICS Main Questionnaire Dataset in Prospective Study of Perinatal Transmission of HIV Infection and Developmental Outcome of Children Infected with HIV: Mothers and Infants Cohort Study

Data from the Main Questionnaire Form (CRF FM22)
Study Description
A prospective cohort study that enrolled both HIV+ and HIV- pregnant women (n=450) at 5 obstetric clinics in New York City between 1986-1991. Of those that were HIV+, few had been exposed to antiretroviral therapy. Objectives were to: 1) ascertain the probability of perinatal transmission of retroviruses (RV) to offspring of HIV+ pregnant women; 2) determine if RV increases adverse pregnancy outcomes; 3) quantitate the spectrum of disorders up to age four for children at risk for RV infection; 4) determine the effect of HIV status on pregnancy; 5) develop a serum bank as a resource for new serologic markers of RV infectivity and exposure; 6) obtain prolonged follow-up of RV-infected women and children; 7) have a population available for possible studies of heterosexual or household transmission of RV; and 8) assist in planning the allocation of healthcare resources for HIV-infected children. Biospecimens are available for request through DASH. Please navigate to Explore Biospecimens at the top of this page. HIV-infected and -uninfected pregnant women and their offspring
