| dc.description.abstract | African HIV-infected pregnant women are the most vulnerable population group to malaria infection. Paradoxically, these women are also the least protected against malaria due to fear of potential interactions between antiretroviral and antimalarial drugs. Action is urgently needed to evaluate antimalarials that can be safely administered to HIV-infected pregnant women on antiretroviral treatment and cotrimoxazole prophylaxis. | en_US |

| dc.description.resumo | Mulheres grávidas africanas infectadas com HIV são o grupo populacional mais vulnerável à infecção por malária. Paradoxalmente, essas mulheres também são as menos protegidas contra a malária devido ao medo de possíveis interações entre os antirretrovirais e os antimaláricos. É necessária uma ação urgente para avaliar os antimaláricos que podem ser administrados com segurança a mulheres grávidas infectadas pelo HIV em tratamento anti-retroviral e profilaxia com cotrimoxazol. | en_US |
