Description:More than 17.8 million women are living with HIV worldwide and about 900,000 are infected with HIV each year1. Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death among people living with HIV (PHLIV) and poses an especially serious risk to pregnant and breastfeeding women and their children. However, with life-saving antiretroviral treatment (ART) and appropriate TB screening and treatment, women with HIV can live long, healthy lives, and have the opportunity to be there for their families. In order to ensure that women and their children can routinely access these HIV and TB services, it is critical that HIV service delivery models are tailored to meet the needs of pregnant and breastfeeding women.
