Global HIV infections: 2007
33 million in world
• South Africa has less than 1% of world’s population but 17% of HIV infections
• SA is one of the 12 countries which account for 3/4 of world’s HIV positive pregnant women UNAIDS 2008
22 million in SSA
5.7 million in SA

Grim Reality
• The prevention-treatment gap is huge – 2.7 million new infections (2007) – 2.1 million adults and children died of HIV/AIDS
(2007) – 4 million people on treatment (2008)
• Approximately 1 million people started on treatment in 2008
►Twice as many people become infected with HIV as start on treatment each year; ► Twice as many die of AIDS as start on treatment.

• HIV incidence = new infections in women with a documented negative test in that pregnancy
• MTCT rates:
• 70% among women with incident HIV during pregnancy
• 36% during breastfeeding
• Where effective interventions have reduced transmission in identified women, new infections during pregnancy may be a major source of MTCT.
![Page 21: HIV in Pregnancy - Doing More with Less](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042623/547b3737b4af9f38538b48ac/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• A Botswana study showed:
• Among women testing negative in early pregnancy:
• 1.3% were infected in 17 weeks before delivery, and
• 1.8% were infected in the first postpartum year.
• Extrapolating this to the national Botswana figures:
• Estimate 950 women acquired HIV during pregnancy or first postpartum year, and infected 470 infants.
• Botswana National PMTCT program transmission data show
• 13,900 women infected an estimated 620 infants (4.7%).
Incident HIV is thus estimated to account for 470/1090 (43%) of infant infections in 2007

PMTCT Programs – 2001
• HIV testing – Point of care • Single dose nevirapine to mother and baby • Infant feeding choices • Cotrimoxazole to infant from 6-weeks • Infant testing at 12-18 months
Transmission Rates: 14-16%
![Page 31: HIV in Pregnancy - Doing More with Less](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042623/547b3737b4af9f38538b48ac/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
PMTCT Program Interventions – 2008
• HIV testing – Point of care • CD4 counts • Cotrimoxazole • Combination Therapy – AZT from 28 weeks • HAART during pregnancy if eligible
– Adherence – Toxicity
• AZT+3TC to prevent nevirapine resistance • Infant feeding choice/adherence – HIV-free survival • ARVs during breast feeding • Infant testing at 6-weeks
Target: Transmission Rates: 2-5%
![Page 32: HIV in Pregnancy - Doing More with Less](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042623/547b3737b4af9f38538b48ac/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

financial and the human resources that already exist…”

PMTCT Isn’t Working…
• Poor uptake of HIV testing • Poor uptake of AZT/NVP by mother and baby • Uncertainties regarding infant feeding:
– Choice – Adherence – Weaning
• Poor follow-up for infant testing • Poor transition of mothers to ARV programs
and Wellness Care during and after pregnancy • Poor transition of babies to baby clinics and
HIV/AIDS care
![Page 36: HIV in Pregnancy - Doing More with Less](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042623/547b3737b4af9f38538b48ac/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Causes • Institutional
too few nurses and midwives poor links between PMTCT and on-going HIV
care poor links between health care facility and
community • Societal
disempowered women Stigma
• Same issues across Africa
![Page 37: HIV in Pregnancy - Doing More with Less](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042623/547b3737b4af9f38538b48ac/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Goal 1: PMTCT
Goal 2: Healthy mothers and infants
Goal 3: Empowerment
mothers2mothers
m2m envisions a world where babies are not born with HIV, where
HIV+ mothers are alive and healthy to care for
their families and where HIV-positive
women are empowered to live positively
Vision To prevent babies from contracting
HIV through mother-to-child transmission and promote HIV-free
survival.
To keep HIV-positive mothers and their infants alive and healthy by increasing their access to health-
sustaining medical care
To empower mothers living with HIV/AIDS, enabling them to fight
stigma in their communities and to live positive and productive lives
![Page 38: HIV in Pregnancy - Doing More with Less](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042623/547b3737b4af9f38538b48ac/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Primary Objectives • Increase HIV and CD4 testing during pregnancy • Enhance uptake of antiretroviral medications:
PMTCT during pregnancy ARVs during and after pregnancy
• Choice of and adherence to method of exclusive infant feeding;
• Appropriate weaning and introduction of complementary foods
• Infant testing • Referral of mother and infant
to follow-up care • Disclosure • Reducing stigma • Partner involvement • Empowerment – “living positively”
![Page 39: HIV in Pregnancy - Doing More with Less](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042623/547b3737b4af9f38538b48ac/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Secondary Benefits
Promote health systems and 4-prong approach to PMTCT:
• Attendance at antenatal and postnatal clinics • Safe motherhood initiatives - deliveries in
health care facilities • Family planning – reduce the number of
unwanted pregnancies • Couples testing for primary prevention of HIV
infection in discordant couples
![Page 40: HIV in Pregnancy - Doing More with Less](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042623/547b3737b4af9f38538b48ac/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Simple, Scale-able Model of Care
• Individual and group engagement
• Daily presence for education and support
• Mentor Mothers: professional members of health care team—paid for service
Mothers are a community’s single greatest resource
Mothers living with HIV (Mentor Mothers) educate and support HIV-positive pregnant women and new mothers in health facilities

Population Council - Horizons Study: Research Questions
Does mothers2mothers: – Increase HIV-positive women’s
utilization of key PMTCT services?
– Improve PMTCT outcomes and psychosocial well-being?

Population Council - Horizons Study (2007) • PMTCT
– 95% of mothers received nevirapine – 88% of babies received nevirapine
• Care – 79% had CD4 counts – 88% knew CD4 count results
• Infant Feeding – 89% chose exclusive infant feeding method
• Family Planning – 70% using contraception
• Disclosure – 97% disclosed (4.4x non-participants)
![Page 50: HIV in Pregnancy - Doing More with Less](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042623/547b3737b4af9f38538b48ac/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Program Participants Report Better Psychosocial Well-being
• Pregnant participants were significantly more likely to feel they could: – Do things to help themselves – Cope with taking care of baby – Live positively
• Postpartum participants were significantly more likely to feel less: – Alone in the world – Overwhelmed by problems – Hopeless about future
