Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thousands of HIV-positive women give birth every year. Further, because many pregnant women are not tested for HIV and therefore do not receive treatment, the number of children born with HIV is still unacceptably high. What can we do to eliminate this tragic and costly inheritance? In response to a congressional request, this book evaluates the extent to which state efforts have been effective in reducing the perinatal transmission of HIV. The committee recommends that testing HIV be a routine part of prenatal care, and that health care providers notify women that HIV testing is part of the usual array of prenatal tests and that they have an opportunity to refuse the HIV test. This approach could help both reduce the number of pediatric AIDS cases and improve treatment for mothers with AIDS. Reducing the Odds will be of special interest to federal, state, and local health policymakers, prenatal care providers, maternal and child health specialists, public health practitioners, and advocates for HIV/AIDS patients.

Download or read book Prevention and Treatment of HIV Infection in Infants and Children written by Arthur J. Ammann and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perinatal use of Zidovudine, AZT and other treatments have reduced the rate of HIV-infected infants to a few hundred per year in developed nations; in emerging nations, 1600 infants are born at risk to HIV every day. A future generation of children with HIV can be prevented now by delivering known interventions on more economical, society-specific levels. This volume combines the proceedings of two conferences. The Global Conference on the Prevention of AIDS Transmission from Mothers to Infants concentrated on social, political and cultural forces in the epidemiology of HIV. Workshop panels offered interventions specific to the cultures and infrastructures of Haiti, India, Brazil, Barbados, Thailand and eight other developing countries. A satellite conference focused on the clinical aspects of maternofoetal, infant and paediatric AIDS. The summary proceedings offer international health agencies working models of culture-sensitive, realistic intervention programmes for countries most at risk.

Download or read book Birth in the Age of AIDS written by Cecilia Van Hollen and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-03 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Birth in the Age of AIDS is a vivid and poignant portrayal of the experiences of HIV-positive women in India during pregnancy, birth, and motherhood at the beginning of the 21st century. The government of India, together with global health organizations, established an important public health initiative to prevent HIV transmission from mother to child. While this program, which targets poor women attending public maternity hospitals, has improved health outcomes for infants, it has resulted in sometimes devastatingly negative consequences for poor, young mothers because these women are being tested for HIV in far greater numbers than their male spouses and are often blamed for bringing this highly stigmatized disease into the family. Based on research conducted by the author in India, this book chronicles the experiences of women from the point of their decisions about whether to accept HIV testing, through their decisions about whether or not to continue with the birth if they test HIV-positive, their birthing experiences in hospitals, decisions and practices surrounding breast-feeding vs. bottle-feeding, and their hopes and fears for the future of their children.
