Prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission

What did we do?

In this project, developed in 20 departments, we followed up girls, boys and mothers served by the national strategy for the elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV.

We actively searched for mothers diagnosed with HIV infection who were registered in the database of the strategy for the elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV, and whose exposed children were not being followed up.

We surveyed mothers and caregivers to identify the reasons why HIV-exposed children did not complete their follow-up in the MTCT HIV strategy. We also developed an Inspection, Surveillance and Control (IVC) strategy aimed at Health Promoting Companies, Territorial Directorates with a focus on primary health care for the elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV.
