Strategy 4: Further Decrease
Mother-to-Child HIV Transmission |
|
|
Treatment of pregnant women and their infants can substantially
reduce the number of babies born with HIV infection. Such
interventions are most effective when the HIV status of the pregnant
woman is known as early as possible in pregnancy –and if not
known—when the baby can be tested at the time of birth. CDC will:
- Promote screening of every pregnant
woman for HIV, using the “opt-out”
approach. Make prenatal HIV screening a
routine part of medical care.
- Promote screening of newborns whose
mothers HIV status is not known.
