Image of pregnant Caucasian woman standing and touching her stomach.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.
