Brief Summary: Prevention of malaria in pregnancy is critical given the high incidence of malaria in Zambia and its serious impact on both maternal and infant survival Intermittent presumptive treatment with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine has been shown to be highly efficacious for reducing the risk of malaria in pregnancy However based on a study done in western Kenya HIV-infected pregnant women may need more frequent dosing of SP ie on a monthly basis rather than the standard 2-dose regimen given during the second and third trimesters as HIV appears to reduce the effectiveness of the SP drug combination The goal of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the standard dosing regimen in comparison to an intensive monthly SP dosing schedule in HIV-positive women
Detailed Description: Primary Objectives

To compare the efficacy of IPT with monthly SP versus a two-dose regimen given once in the second and once in the third trimester in HIV-infected women on the

Prevalence of placental malaria infection
Prevalence of maternal peripheral parasitemia

Secondary objectives

To compare IPT with monthly SP versus a two-dose regimen given once in the second and once in the third trimester in HIV-infected women on

Birth weight including the proportion of LBW infants
Incidence of prematurity
Neonatal and fetal death and third trimester stillbirth
Incidence of neonatal jaundice
Third trimester anemia
Third trimester severe anemia
Proportion of mothers who develop symptomatic malaria during the course of pregnancy
