HIV: prevention of mother-to-child transmission
Definition. Mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV infection is defined as transmission of HIV from an infected mother to her child during gestation, labour, or postpartum through breastfeeding. HIV-1 infection is frequently transmitted from mother to child, although HIV-2 is rarely transmitted in this way.
Comprehensive knowledge of mother-to-child HIV/AIDS transmission
Background More than 90% of babies acquire HIV/AIDS through vertical transmission, primarily due to low maternal comprehensive knowledge about Mother-To-Child Transmission (MTCT) of HIV/AIDS and its prevention, which is a cornerstone for eliminating MTCT of HIV/AIDS. However, there are limitations in terms of population data and literature evidence based on recent Demographic and Health ...

Understanding the uptake and determinants of prevention of mother-to
Background Prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV service is conceptualized as a series of cascades that begins with all pregnant women and ends with the detection of a final HIV status in HIV-exposed infants (HEIs). A low rate of cascade completion by mothers' results in an increased risk of HIV transmission to their infants. Therefore, this review aimed to understand the ...

Prevention of mother-to-child transmission with antiretrovirals. Soon after, it was demonstrated that bi (1995) and then triple (1996) antiretroviral therapy in HIV-infected adults allows efficient and lasting inhibition of viral replication, followed by a major immunological and clinical benefit [Citation 18].The close link between the level of viral replication and the risk of transmission ...
HIV in pregnancy: Mother-to-child transmission ...
Moreover, in 2018 an estimated 1.3 million pregnant women with HIV were at risk of developing AIDS and perinatal transmission of the virus to their fetus. Mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) accounts for most childhood HIV infections and may occur during second and third trimesters of pregnancy, labor and delivery, or breastfeeding.
HIV: prevention of mother-to-child transmission
Abstract. Introduction: Over 2 million children are thought to be living with HIV/AIDS worldwide, of whom over 80% live in sub-Saharan Africa. Without antiretroviral treatment, the risk of HIV transmission from infected mothers to their children is 15% to 30% during gestation or labour, with an additional transmission risk of 10% to 20% ...
The impact of programs for prevention of mother-to-child transmission
The global scale-up of Prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) services is credited for a 52% worldwide decline in new HIV infections among children between 2001 and 2012. However, the epidemic continues to challenge maternal and paediatric HIV control efforts in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA), with repercussions on other health services beyond those directly addressing HIV and AIDS.

Knowledge, attitude, and practice towards prevention of mother-to-child
Background In 2020, globally approximately 37.6 million people living with HIV and 700,000 children are born infected from their parents. Every day there are nearly 1800 new Human Immune Virus (HIV) infections in children, more than 90% occurring in the developing world. Approximately 90% of these infections are associated with mother-to-child transmission (MTCT). In 2019, Ethiopia had over ...
A Review and Analysis of Outcomes from Prevention of Mother-to-Child
Background and objective: Above 90% of childhood HIV infections result from mother-to-child transmission (MTCT). This study examined the MTCT rates of HIV-exposed infants enrolled in the infant follow-up arm of the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) program in a teaching hospital in Southeast Nigeria.
Socio-cultural factors influencing the prevention of mother-to-child
Currently, Nigeria alone accounts for 30% of the burden of mother-to-child transmission of HIV. This review explores the socio-cultural factors influencing prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) service uptake in Nigeria. Using the PEN-3 cultural model as a guide, we searched electronic databases and conducted a synthesis of empirical studies conducted from 2001 to 2013 that ...
Knowledge of prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV among
Background: A lack of enough knowledge about the mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) among reproductive-age women is thought to be a key contributor to new pediatric HIV infections worldwide, and rising HIV-related infant mortality, particularly in resource-limited countries. Knowledge of MTCT of HIV is key to halt the progression of HIV/AIDS.
PDF Family Planning and the Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV
Funding for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV has primarily been directed at preventing transmission from HIV-infected women to their infants by providing voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) during pregnancy and providing antiretroviral (ARV) drug therapy to infected women and newborns.
Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV and Paediatric HIV
The HIV estimates are generated annually by country teams and include estimates of the numbers of adults and children living with HIV, new HIV infections, AIDS-related deaths, as well as, mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) rates and the need for PMTCT. These estimates are currently used in the calculation of 8 of the 10 Global Plan indicators.
Mother-to-child transmission of HIV
Globally, an estimated 1.3 million women and girls living with HIV become pregnant each year. In the absence of intervention, the rate of transmission of HIV from a mother living with HIV to her child during pregnancy, labour, delivery or breastfeeding ranges from 15% to 45%. As such, identification of HIV infection should be immediately ...
Understanding the uptake of prevention of mother-to-child transmission
Literature search strategy and selection criteria. We designed a search strategy to identify studies conducted in SSA that compared PMTCT services for adolescents and older women throughout the PMTCT cascade, which includes antenatal care (ANC) attendance, HIV testing, maternal ART and infant ARV use, retention and family planning (Stringer et al., Citation 2008).

Background Universal antiretroviral treatment (ART) for pregnant women has reduced mother-to-child transmission risk significantly. However, not all women on ART are virally suppressed during pregnancy and lactation. In addition to poor adherence to ART, co-infections particularly other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are known to increase the risk of HIV acquisition and HIV ...
Reducing the risk of HIV/AIDS transmission using intervention mapping
The most used practical applications in reducing HIV/AIDS risk behaviors were video roles (n = 8) and role-model stories (n = 5). The review may be helpful for healthcare professionals to carefully design and implement the key procedures of the first three steps of the IM programs for people with HIV/AIDS in preventing HIV/AIDS transmission.
