Although the Brazilian Ministry of Health aimed to eliminate MTCT by 2015, infection still occured in 15–24% of infants born to HIV-infected mothers. We sought to identify remaining factors that constrain MTCT elimination. SN - 1471-2458 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-018-6002-8 DO - 10.1186/s12889-018-6002-8 ID - Lovero2018 ER -
