The "Pediatric Antiretroviral Dosing in Resource-limited Settings" is an easy-to-use chart on antiretroviral drug doses for infants and children as recommended by the World Health Organization. CDC, the International Center for AIDS Care and Treatment Programs (ICAP) of Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, and the Baylor International Pediatric AIDS Initiative (BIPAI) of the Baylor College of Medicine collaborated to develop this chart.

The Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission Monitoring System (PMTCT-MS) is a national facility-based monitoring system developed by CDC. The PMTCT-MS is a reference system and package of tools adaptable to local needs. It was designed to facilitate easier and faster development and implementation of systems to monitor PMTCT programs.

The World Health Organization (WHO) and CDC have collaborated to develop the Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV (PMTCT) Generic Training Package. Recognizing that building human capacity requires collaboration at multiple levels and across organizations, the curriculum is designed to support the scale up of PMTCT services and assist in unifying and strengthening existing PMTCT training efforts.

These tools were developed by the CDC, in collaboration with the Department of HIV/AIDS at the World Health Organization, United Nations Children's Fund and United States Agency for International Development and their implementing partners. Learn more.
In this era of increasing access in resource-limited settings to HIV counseling
and testing, care, and treatment for people living with HIV, more and more
people living with HIV-associated immunosuppression are attending health care
and community facilities. The following documents contain recommendations to
help management and other staff members minimize the risk of TB transmission at
these facilities.

Tuberculosis Infection Control in the Era of Expanding HIV Care and Treatment
presentation
Providing HIV testing and counseling to TB patients can identify persons with
HIV infection in order to link them to life-saving therapy. CDC and WHO have
developed tools that reinforce standardized operating procedures for providing
HIV testing and counseling in TB clinics to help countries plan and implement
their programs. The materials provide guidance for advance planning related to
national policies, logistics, and implementation procedures, as well as training
for health care providers on how to incorporate testing into their practice and
how to counsel patients about their HIV test results.
