Our study found no difference in maternal outcomes by study arm, but our intervention resulted in an improved medication possession ratio among male partners. We provide a community/clinic-based treatment framework that can improve outcomes among male partners. Further work needs to be done to improve social support for pregnant women and to facilitate prevention of vertical transmission to infants among couples living with HIV.
