The
One Test. Two Lives. campaign from
the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) focuses on ensuring that
all women are tested for HIV early in their
pregnancy.
Perinatal transmission accounts for
91% of all AIDS cases among children in the
United States. Antiretroviral therapy
during pregnancy can reduce the transmission
rate to 2% or less. The transmission
rate is 25% without treatment.
One Test. Two Lives. provides quick access
to a variety of resources for providers, and
materials for their patients, to help
encourage universal voluntary prenatal testing for
HIV.
