Effects of Early, Abrupt Weaning on HIV-free Survival of Chil-
dren in Zambia (July 10, 2008;359:130-41). In the Results sec-
tion, in the third paragraph under HIV-free Survival at 24 Months
(page 138), the second sentence should have ended with “(10.7%
in the intervention group and 11.7% in the control group,
P = 0.71)” rather than “(0.7% in the intervention group and
11.7% in the control group, P = 0.71).” We regret the error. The
article has been corrected on the Journal’s Web site at www.
nejm.org.
