Скачать или смотреть On Her Own But Not Alone in PMTCT

Jennipher is a mother of four and a patient in the prevention-of-mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) program in Thyolo, Malawi. "My husband was very supportive every time I was pregnant. When I got pregnant the last time, we went together as husband and wife to the first antenatal visit. We both got tested and they told us we were both HIV positive." When a pregnant mother is on effective treatment, the HIV transmission rate to her child drops from up to 40% to less than 5%. However, not all women have access to testing and treatment. MSF teams support more than 341,600 people on antiretroviral treatment in over 20 countries. In late 2013, MSF handed over the PMTCT program in Thyolo to Malawi’s health system.
