Description:

This provider sheet provides information about important perinatal HIV prevention and treatment information from federal/public health agencies and professional associations for the clinicians and their patients.

Every infant infected with HIV through vertical transmission represents a sentinel health event that signals either a missed prevention opportunity, or, more rarely, a failure of prophylaxis.

Explain to your patient that you are not singling her out. Assure her that HIV testing is an important part of routine prenatal care in your practice.
