The Fiji, Vanuatu, Kiribati and Solomon Islands Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV (PMTCT) Training Package. UNICEF (2008)
| Background on Prevention of Mother-to-child Transmission of HIV (PMTCT) Programmes Of the 33.2 million people living with HIV worldwide at the end of 2007, 2.5 million were children under the age of 15 years. In 2007 alone, 420,000 children were newly infected with HIV—about 1,150 new infections in children each day. The most frequent source of HIV infection in infants and children is transmission from mother-to-child during pregnancy, labour and delivery, or breastfeeding. Comprehensive programmes for prevention of mother- to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT)—including ARV therapy and prophylaxis—can significantly reduce the number of infants who are HIV-infected and promote better health for their mothers and families.
