About One Test. Two Lives.
The One Test. Two Lives. campaign
from the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) gives obstetric providers
new tools to help ensure all patients get
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 a
variety of resources for providers—as well
as materials for their patients—to help
encourage universal prenatal testing for
HIV.
Mission
Statement:
The mission of the One Test. Two Lives.
campaign is to help prevent transmission of
HIV from mother to child and promote optimal
maternal health.
The American College of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists (ACOG) and the American
College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) also
recommend routine HIV testing in pregnancy. Contact information
for each of these organizations is below.
