Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV
What We Do › Women's Health › Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV
More and more, the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Eastern Europe and Central Asia is breaking away from the high-risk populations of injecting drug users (IDUs) and commercial sex workers who first fueled its rapid spread. Statistics indicate that heterosexual transmission now accounts for nearly half of all new HIV infections. Women—particularly those in their reproductive years—are increasingly bearing the brunt of the epidemic, which makes effective prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) even more critical.
