Impact of HIV and antiretroviral drug exposure on lung growth and function over 2 years in an African Birth Cohort

HIV exposure is associated with altered lung function in early life, with a vulnerable HIV-exposed uninfected subgroup based on maternal disease severity

Maternal exposure to indoor air pollution and birth outcomes

Although formaldehyde concentrations were very low, this finding is consistent with other studies of formaldehyde and poor birth outcomes
