“I Can Make a Difference in One’s Family Lifeâ€: Preventing Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV |

Voices from the Capacity Project
 Sister Abiyot Bedane lives in the Arsi Zone of Oromiya Region in Ethiopia. As a maternal and child health nurse at the Alem Tenna Health Center, she works a busy schedule caring for local mothers and children. Until recently, though, her health center has not been able to help mothers who are HIV-positive to avoid passing on the virus to their children.
Women who are HIV-positive can transmit the virus during pregnancy or delivery or through breastfeeding. Without interventions, about a third of infants born to infected mothers contract the virus. Around the globe, an estimated two million children are HIV-positive. Yet simple treatments can greatly improve a newborn’s chance of avoiding infection.
Through prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) programs, mothers receive antenatal counseling and testing for HIV, and—if positive—follow-up and antiretroviral therapy; babies receive antiretroviral prophylaxis within 72 hours of birth. |
