TB is often reported in people with HIV, in whom isoniazid preventive therapy (IPT) is a treamtent regimen used to prevent TB infection. However, when mothers with HIV recieived IPT during their pregnancy, their babies were associated with an increased risk low birth weight, preterm birth, and becoming under weight. Males seemed to be particularly effected. This brings into question the use of IPT in pregnant women with HIV as the health-care communitry seeks to reach SDGs 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3.
