Abstract

Transplacental hMPV-neutralizing antibody transfer was reduced from mothers living with HIV-1. However, a comparison of antibody titers at birth between hMPV hospitalization cases at <6 months and matched controls suggested that reduced maternal antibody might not be the primary cause of the previously reported elevated hMPV risk in HIV-1-exposed infants.

Keywords: HIV-1; HIV-1 exposure; antibody transfer; human metapneumovirus; neutralizing antibodies.
