One Test. Two Lives. has brought together a group of experts across the country in fields related to perinatal HIV transmission to form a consultant workgroup dedicated to spreading the campaign message of the importance of testing all pregnant women for HIV. Members not only speak at local, regional, or national conferences and association meetings, but they are dedicated to helping CDC reduce the number of babies born with HIV by communicating with other health care providers who can benefit from the campaign’s message and materials.
