  ABSTRACT: Objective: To compare one-year outcomes of women started on antiretroviral therapy (ART) duringpregnancy in the pre-Option B+ era to those in the Option B+ era. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed at three sites in Malawi. Women were included in the “pre-Option B+” cohort if they started ART during pregnancy for a CD4 count 3or WHO 3/4 condition and in the “Option B+” cohort if they started ART during pregnancy regardless of CD4 count or clinical stage.
