The study was conducted among 946 women attending antenatal clinic in SMIMER teaching hospital during 2008 to know their awareness regarding various aspects of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV and it was found that though the general awareness of HIV is high, awareness of MTCT and its prevention is low which need to be improved through focused IEC campaign. Background : More than 90% of HIV infections in children aged <15 years are due to mother-to-child transmission (MTCT). The MTCT may reverse the gains of the child survival strategy in the country. Awareness of HIV and MTCT among antenatal women plays crucial role in preventing MTCT. Objective : To evaluate the awareness and knowledge of HIV/AIDS, MTCT of HIV and the methods to prevent MTCT of HIV. Methods : This is a descriptive cross sectional study carried out among antenatal women at the SMIMER Teaching Hospital during 2008. Results : Out of 946 women interviewed, 78% had heard of HIV/AIDS and main sources of information were television (48.8%) and radio (37.8%). Ninety-one percent of women were aware of MTCT of HIV. Trans-placental route (41%) was the commonly identified route of transmission. Awareness of HIV/AIDS, HIV co-existence with pregnancy and Mother to child transmission was significantly higher among women with at least secondary education (P<0.05). The level of knowledge and perceptions of MTCT of HIV is inadequate. Conclusion : There is an urgent need to scale up HIV awareness programme focusing on mother-to-child transmission in the region.

Children are innocent victims of HIV infection through vertical transmission. Children who are HIV positive, either through mother-to-child transmission or following sexual abuse, are often not told what could happen to them, and they will certainly be frightened when they experience symptoms.

Hiv Aids

The transmission of HIV/AIDS from mother to child is the main cause of HIV/AIDS in children and child mortality. Two-thirds of children with HIV/AIDS are infected in the intrapartum period (Farley, 2000:1-2). Midwives, through effective practices, can lower the transmission of HIV/AIDS from mother to child in the intrapartum period. The aim of the study was to determine which preventive practices registered midwives in provincial labour wards in Bloemfontein, implement to lower the risk of mother to child transmission of HIV/AIDS and in doing so to lower child mortality.

This paper explores the pertinent challenges of Government’s HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment program in India. Study is mainly based on observations made during field visits, discussion during review meetings at various levels and during training programmes of various functionaries from April 2007-November 2009. The paper also takes into account the observations made on the conclusion of the Mid-term Review conducted by the Government of India in during July- December 2009 after completion of first 2.5 years of the 5-year plan of NACP-III. Additionally, interactions with key program managers involved in implementation and management of HIV/AIDS Program at the state, district and facility levels. Though numerous efforts have been made and continued by the Government and partners, HIV prevention, care and treatment services have not been able to reach to the most-at-risk population, specifically in the rural population. Socio-cultural and managerial issues are the key challenges reported by the most of the key implementers. There is an urgent need to address and strengthen the whole spectrum of health systems through a collaborative approach to achieve the millennium development goals of universal access to prevention, care and treatment services in India.
