This study found risks for delayed infant cognitive development to be associated with the use of ARV during pregnancy and intimate partner violence, although findings merit replication due to the low sample size. Given the growing number of HEU infants, the necessity to better understand the potential toxicity of ARV exposure in utero is apparent. Similarly, the need for preventing intimate partner violence and screening for, and managing, developmental delays among these infants is increasing.
