Abstract:

When an HIV-positive woman becomes pregnant, additional nutritional considerations are warranted. Compared to routine prenatal nutritional assessment and intervention, pregnant HIV-positive women have increased needs to promote a healthy outcome. This column contains information on HIV and pregnancy, nutrition and infection, and nutrition for HIV-positive pregnancy. This content can be integrated into childbirth education settings to improve care to women who are HIV-positive.

Abstract:

Background: If an HIV-positive woman becomes pregnant, certain complementary nutritional considerations must be justified, since pregnant women with HIV have greater needs to promote a healthy outcome. This review aims to provide information on HIV and pregnancy, nutrition, and infection, and how care and environment can be improved for these HIV positive women. Results: The search yielded a total of 120 articles, of which 102 were excluded by title, abstract, or year of publication. In total, as a result of this search, 20 articles were included, which met at least one of the criteria. Based on the results of the study, these show a great diversity in the changes and recommendations for pregnant women who show the pathology.

Abstract:

In 2015, the majority (80%) of the 1.2 million HIV-positive pregnant women globally, most of whom reside in sub-Saharan Africa (91%), received antiretroviral treatment (ART) for the prevention-of- mother-to-child-transmission (PMTCT). The use of Highly Active Antiretroviral Treatment (HAART) during pregnancy improves maternal health, reduces mother-to-child-transmission to <1%, and reduces horizontal HIV-transmission to serodiscordant couples. Consequently, in 2016, WHO recommended that all HIV-positive women of reproductive age initiate lifelong HAART. Despite the benefits of ART, an increasing body of conflicting evidence continue to report high rates of adverse perinatal outcomes in HIV-positive pregnant women, with no clarity on whether this is attributable to HIV-infection, ART or underlying confounding. This thesis explored the association between maternal HIV-infection, ART and perinatal outcomes, using 3 rigorous methods. A systematic review and pairwise meta-analysis showed that ART-naÃ ̄ve maternal HIV-infection significantly increased the risk of preterm birth (PTB), low birthweight (LBW), small for gestational age (SGA), and stillbirth. This effect was most prominent in sub-Saharan Africa, it persisted after adjustment for confounders and was directly correlated with the clinical stage of disease. Secondly, a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomised control trials showed PI-based HAART and NNRTI-based HAART, both of which are recommended for PMTCT in developed and developing countries, to be the most efficacious ART for PMTCT but also associated with the highest risks of PTB, spontaneous PTB, LBW and very LBW compared to other commonly used ART. Lastly, prospectively collected data on a South African cohort of HIV-negative and HIV- positive women on a predominantly NNRTI-based HAART regimen, with pregnancies dated by early ultrasound (<l14 weeks gestation), was used to determine the association between HIV/ART and perinatal outcomes in a 'real-world' context. The limited power of the study, and high background incidence of adverse perinatal outcomes in HIV-negative women prevented multivariate analyses from detecting an independent association between maternal HIV/ART and PTB, LBW or SGA. The findings of this thesis highlight the importance of recent efforts by national governments and international stakeholders (WHO, USAID, UNAIDS) to accelerate ART coverage in HIV-positive women of reproductive age; however, it also shows that an unintended negative consequence of the current HAART regimens recommended for PMTCT will be a significant increase in the burden of adverse perinatal outcomes that directly contribute to neonatal and under-5 mortality, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.

Abstract:

Disruptions or imbalances of the vaginal microbiome can lead to negative reproductive health consequences for women, including an increased risk of sexually transmitted infections, pelvic inflammatory disease, and preterm birth. HIV-positive women may be particularly vulnerable to microbiome disruptions due to the immune dysfunction intrinsic to this disease. The objective of this study was to explore the vaginal microbiome in HIV-positive reproductive-aged women utilizing cpn60 metagenomic profiling and to correlate vaginal bacterial profiles with demographic/clinical variables. 54 HIV-positive women were recruited from the Oak Tree Clinic in Vancouver, BC. Demographic/clinical information was collected and vaginal gram-stains were assessed by Nugent’s scoring. Total DNA was extracted from vaginal swabs and PCR amplified using cpn60-specific universal primers. Cpn60-sequence libraries were generated with 454-GS-FLX Titanium pyrosequencing. 64 unique bacterial phylotypes were classified based on sequence similarity to known bacterial organisms and 10 common vaginal community clusters were generated. Fisher’s exact test and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were utilized to conduct statistical analyses. The mean age of enrolled women was 36.6 years (range=22.3–48.8). The mean CD4 count for these women was 484 cells/mm³ (range=90-930 cells/mm³) while the mean viral load was 13,144 copies/mL (range=<40-355,245 copies/mL). 63% of women had suppressed viral loads while 85% of women were on antiretroviral therapy. According to scored vaginal Gram stains, 30% (16/54) of women had bacterial vaginosis and 11% (6/54) had intermediate scores. 12/54 women were categorized as having abnormal vaginal discharge. Abnormal vaginal discharge significantly correlated with Dialister micraerophilus, Gardnerella vaginalis B, Gardnerella vaginalis D, Porphyromonas uenonis, Prevotella amnii, Prevotella buccalis, and Prevotella timonensis (p<0.04 for all). Normal vaginal discharge significantly correlated with Lactobacillus crispatus (p<0.0006). Viral loads <40 copies/mL significantly correlated with Lactobacillus crispatus and Lactobacillus gasseri while viral loads >40 copies/mL correlated with Atopobium vaginae, Gardnerella vaginalis D, Prevotella amnii, and 4 other potentially novel bacterial species (P<0.03 for all). CD4 counts <350 cells/mm³ significantly correlated with Gardnerella vaginalis B and Lactobacillus iners (p<0.05 for all). Cpn60-based sequence data demonstrated substantial variation in the vaginal microbiome among HIV-positive women, with species-specific differences dependent on vaginal discharge status, immune status and uncontrolled HIV replication.

Abstract:

Approximately 29.1% of South African women of childbearing age tested HIV positive during their first antenatal visit in 2006 (DoH, 2007). This rate of HIV amongst the women of childbearing age reinforces the importance of understanding the management of HIV during pregnancy. During antenatal visits the general health of the woman and her unborn baby is assessed and managed. Management includes antiretroviral therapy to the HIV infected women with a CD4 count below 200 cells/mm3, while women with a CD4 count above 200 cells/mm3 receive a single dose of nevirapine with the onset of labour provided to them by their local clinics. Currently, in Potchefstroom, women receive antenatal care at local primary health-care clinics and antiretroviral drugs at the antiretroviral clinic. There is little or no collaboration between the various clinics and the question arises if the needs of the women are being met. The aim of the research was to promote the health of HIV positive pregnant women by providing insight into the needs of these women and to formulate recommendations for antenatal care. The specific objective is to explore and describe the needs of HIV positive pregnant women regarding antenatal care. An explorative, descriptive, contextual design, following a qualitative approach was used during the research. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. Interview questions were compiled from the research problems. Before the commencement of data collection, permission was obtained from the district health manager and Potchefstroom Hospital. A total of sixteen (16) HIV positive women were interviewed after informed consent had been obtained. Data analysis was done after each session and themes were categorised according to the women's needs. From the interviews it was found that each woman has her own specific needs regarding antenatal care. The needs of the participants followed a similar pattern and for this reason it could be divided into various categories. These categories include a need for support, a need for education, a need for improved services and a need for a non-judgemental environment. Conclusions were drawn and recommendations were made for nursing practice, nursing education and nursing research.

Abstract:

Transgender women have the highest HIV prevalence rates of all gender and sexual minorities, yet are less likely to enter and be retained in HIV care. As a result, they are at high risk for HIV-related morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to describe the illness career of transgender women living with HIV and to describe how interactions with health care providers and important others influenced their illness trajectory. The findings are a theoretical model that includes four stages: Having the world come crashing down, shutting out the world, living in a dark world, and reconstructing the world. Relationships within the social network (family, friends, and romantic partners) and the network of health care providers provided the context of the women’s illness careers. Pivotal moments marked movement from one phase to the next. Having the World Crashing Down was the first stage that occurred when the participants were diagnosed with HIV. They felt that their lives as they knew them had been destroyed. They indicated that the “whole world just shattered” the moment they found out they had HIV. Shutting Out the World occurred next. During this stage, many participants experienced withdrawal, denial, social isolation and loneliness. As they struggled with their diagnosis, they often avoided HIV care and avoided contact with important others. During the third stage, Living in a Dark World, participants descended into a dark phase of self-destructive life and health-threatening behaviors following their diagnosis. During the fourth stage, Reconstructing the World, participants began to reestablish themselves in the world and found new ways to reengage with important others and resume meaningful life activities. Findings confirm that the illness careers of HIV-positive transgender women are influenced by the social context of the health care setting and interactions with health care providers and important others.

Abstract:

The focus of this study was on the experiences of a small sample of local women who are HIVpositive and are living in poverty. The researcher was interested in exploring the psychological and social experiences of these women using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis. This research aimed at giving these women a voice to express their first-hand, personal accounts of living with HIV in poverty. Data was analysed for meaningful units, which were interpreted inductively and hermeneutically, and categorised into super-ordinate themes. Six themes within the participants' experiences of living with HIV were determined, namely: (I) experiences of diagnosis, (2) disclosure experiences, (3) stigma, (4) ARV experiences, (5) experiences of social support and (6) poverty. This research found that after an HIV-positive diagnosis, most women experience a variety of emotional reactions. These reactions however seem to change overtime into positive acceptance of the HIV diagnosis. Most of the women in this study preferred to use partial disclosure than to fully disclose their HJV-positive status openly to families, friends and to their community. Reasons for not using full disclosure included fear of discrimination and stigma, which included a fear of being rejected or being blamed for their status and a fear of losing relationships. It was also evident from the findings that most of the women had experienced stigma directly and therefore partial disclosure was used as a coping mechanism to protect the self from further harm. It was also revealed that stigma not only has a negative impact on disclosure but also on social support and ARV experiences. Because ofHIV-related stigma, lack of social support was a struggle that almost all the women in this study had experienced. Lack of understandings about their medication also had a negative impact of the ARV experiences. Stigmas along with poverty are the major struggles that HIV -positive women have to deal with in their day to day living. The findings of this study reveal a need for further research in this experiential area as well as campaigns and education around issues such as stigma, medication, and emotional difficulties associated with HIV.

Abstract:

There is no consensus of the concept sexual health in the context of being HIV-positive women. Research in the area tends to focus in different measurable parts of sexual health for HIV-positive women. A meta-synthesis on that research issue can develop a deeper understanding and knowledge of how HIV-positive women in qualitative studies describe and experience sexual health. The purpose with this study is to analyze and synthesize the results about how HIV-positive women describe and experience sexual health. The meta-synthesis follows Noblit and Hare´s method of meta-ethnography and additional use of Walsh and Downe´s checklist to appraise qualitative articles. The result shows that HIV involves changes in the body, sexuality and sexual activity and relationships. The changes lead to feelings of responsibility, fear and hopelessness. Combinations of these feelings lead to actions of avoidance of risks that result in feelings of loss. As a nurse you are expected to promote sexual health as a part of holistic care and with this new knowledge health care workers can help these women to better health and feeling of well-being.

Abstract:

Introduction: Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), resulting from infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), is a global health problem. According to recent data from the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2022 only, about 1.3 million people were infected with HIV, men over 15 years old accounted for more than half of new cases, and approximately 39.0 million people were living with HIV worldwide. In Brazil, in 2021, the country registered 40,880 new cases of HIV and 35,246 new cases of AIDS. Objective: To estimate the prevalence of HIV and its risk factors in transgender women residing or in transit in the metropolitan region of Goiânia and two towns in the state. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. From June 2018 to August 2019, 440 trans women were recruited using the Respondent Driven Sampling (RDS) technique. All participants were interviewed through a structured questionnaire with questions about sociodemographic characteristics and sexual risk behavioral factors. The samples were submitted to viral detection of HIV-1/2 or antibodies through three laboratory tests, a rapid test (Abon HIV Tri-Line), and two immunoenzymatic assays (BIOLISA HIV 1/2/O and Bio-Rad Geenius™ HIV 1/2 Confirmatory Assay). Samples that were positive in at least two tests were considered positive. Results: The serological analysis for HIV-1/2 was positive in 143 (30.0%) of the samples. According to the univariate analysis, being over 30 years old, having a previous history of STIs, and a previous history of incarceration were statistically associated with positivity for HIV. In the multivariate analysis these factors remained associated. Conclusion: The results show a high seroprevalence of HIV-1/2 among transgender women in the state of Goiás. This denotes the need to generate information to support the adoption of public policies for prevention, health promotion, and assistance aimed at the trans population.

Abstract:

Background: HIV is a virus that attacks the white blood cells (lymphocytes). HIV causing Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). HIV/ AIDS has become a global emergency problem. East Java Province is in the top five of the population infected with HIV (8,204) and AIDS (741) and the most dominant are men. This will worsen the situation of women if they are infected pregnant women. This study aimed to analyze the effect of the Health Belief Model approach on the prevention of HIV/ AIDS among pregnant women in Madiun City, East Java. Subjects and Method: This was a cross sectional study conducted in Madiun City, East Java. A total of 80 pregnant women who conducted HIV/ AIDS check was enrolled in this study. The dependent variable was HIV prevention. The independent variables were perceived seriousness, perceived vulnerability, perceived benefit, and perceived barrier. The data were collected using questionnaire and analyzed using multiple logistic regression analysis. Results: There was a positive effect on perceived seriousness (OR = 8.43; 95% CI=1.38 to 51.4; p = 0.021), perceived vulnerability (OR = 8.36; 95% CI=1.06 to 65.9; p = 0.044), perceived benefit (OR = 12.6; 95% CI=1.37 to 115.5; p = 0.025) on the prevention of HIV/ AIDS among pregnant women and it was statistically significant. There was a negative effect on perceived barrier (OR = 0.13; 95% CI=0.02 to 0.86; p = 0.034) and it was statistically significant. Conclusion: Perceived seriousness, perceived vulnerability, perceived benefit, and perceived barrier influence pregnant women in taking HIV/ AIDS prevention.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION Sexually transmitted infections (STI’s) are a public health threat. Syndromic approaches based on clinical symptoms have been suggested as having poor diagnostic performance, particularly in the type of settings where MSF is operational. We assessed the burden of STI’s and the diagnostic performance of a syndromic approach within an MSF-supported HIV/STI project in Eswatini. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study, enrolling adults accessing routine HIV testing and antiretroviral care services in six clinics in Shiselweni, from July 2022 to January 2023. HIV testing counselors performed HIV testing and nurses assessed patients for STI’s. Laboratory investigations included antibody-based rapid diagnostic tests (RDT’s) for Treponema pallidum (TP), hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C (HBC). The molecular platform Xpert was used to test urine samples for Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoea (NG), Trichomonas vaginalis (TV), Mycoplasma genitalium (MG), vaginal/anal swabs for human papillomavirus (HPV), and plasma for HIV viraemia to test for acute HIV infection (HIV). We calculated the prevalence of STI’s, and assessed diagnostic performance of a syndromic approach to diagnose male urethritis (MUS) and vaginal discharge (VDS) syndromes, versus laboratory-based testing. ETHICS This study was approved by the Eswatini Health and Human Research Review Board and by the MSF Ethics Review Board. RESULTS Of 1,041 study participants, 682 were women (65.5%), and the median age was 30 (interquartile range, IQR, 24-38) years. Overall, 280 (26.9%) were known HIV-positive and of 755 with unknown HIV status, 30 (4.0%) were newly diagnosed with HIV, of whom seven (23.3%) had AHI. 308 (29.6%) patients had at least one of the following three pathogens identified: NG 121 (11.6%); CT 155 (14.9%); TV 109 (10.5%). MG was detected in 33/330 participants (10.0%). In addition, 105 (10.1%) had antibodies against TP, 49 (4.7%) against HBV, and three (0.3%) against HCV. HPV prevalence was higher in tested women (104/196; 53.1%) versus men (5/27; 18.5%; p=0.001). Prevalence of NG/CT/TP was highest in newly-diagnosed HIV cases (48.2%) versus known HIV-positive cases (26.8%, p=0.019). Based on the syndromic approach, 188/634 (29.7%) had a VDS, and 97/334 (29.0%) a MUS. Diagnostic performance of the syndromic approach was better in men (MUS: sensitivity: 66.7%, specificity 87.5%; positive predictive value, PPV, 70.1%, negative predictive value, NPV, 85.7%), versus women (VDS: sensitivity 35.9%, specificity 72.9%; PPV 35.1%, NPV 73.5%). CONCLUSION A high burden of STI’s in Eswatini and poor diagnostic ability of the syndromic approach in this setting, calls for new approaches for STI care in MSF-supported sexual and reproductive health programmes in resource-poor settings.

Abstract:

Preventing unintended pregnancy among HIV-positive women is an effective approach to reducing pediatric HIV infection and vital to meeting HIV-positive women’s sexual and reproductive health needs. Although contraceptive services for HIV-positive women is one of the cornerstones of a comprehensive program for prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT), a review of PMTCT programs found that implementers have not prioritized family planning (FP). While there is increasing awareness about the importance of FP and HIV integration, data about FP from PMTCT clients are lacking. The Horizons Program is conducting an operations research study testing several community-based strategies to reduce mother-to-child transmission of HIV in a densely settled urban slum in Nairobi, Kenya. Strategies being piloted include moving PMTCT services closer to the population via a mobile clinic and increasing psychosocial support for HIV-positive women. This research update presents key findings about FP at PMTCT sites, including the interaction between providers and clients as well as HIV-positive women’s fertility desires and demand for contraceptives, from the baseline cross-sectional survey and qualitative interviews with postpartum women.

Abstract:

Millions of women around the world face two great threats to their health and well-being: HIV/AIDS and violence by an intimate partner. One of the strongest associations between the two is the role that violence and the threat of violence play in limiting a woman’s ability to negotiate safer sex with a partner. A similar fear of violence also discourages women who receive HIV voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) from telling partners about test results. This study explored the links between HIV infection, serostatus disclosure, and partner violence among women attending a VCT clinic in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Researchers began with a qualitative research phase with VCT clients at the Muhimbili Health Information Center. In the second phase, researchers interviewed women who had been tested and counseled three months earlier. The details in this brief show that while there is considerable fear of a partner’s reaction, there is little evidence from HIV-positive or HIV-negative women surveyed that serostatus disclosure frequently leads to physical violence.

Abstract:

While many people get HIV-related counseling and testing, only those who receive pre- and post-test counseling, and test voluntarily, are participating in voluntary counseling and testing (VCT). The high rates of HIV infection among youth make it crucial to find programs to prevent infection. Because there is evidence that many adults benefit from VCT, there is increasing interest in extending these services to young people. VCT counseling helps adolescents evaluate their own behavior and its consequences. A negative test result offers the opportunity to recognize vulnerabilities and develop risk-reduction plans to adopt safe behaviors. Young people who test HIV-positive can receive referrals for care and have opportunities to discuss and understand what their HIV status means and what responsibilities they have to themselves and others as a result. Young women who are pregnant and test HIV-positive should be offered special care to safeguard their own health and minimize the risk of passing the virus to the baby. This report assesses the available evidence about the current status of VCT and youth in developing countries.

Abstract:

Positive results from clinical trials of the anti-retroviral medications zidovudine and nevirapine created the possibility of offering an affordable and feasible intervention worldwide to reduce HIV transmission from an infected pregnant woman to her infant. Governmental and nongovernmental health services in many highly affected areas of Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe have responded by piloting and rapidly expanding programs for the prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission (PMTCT). Since their inception in 1999, programs have offered voluntary HIV counseling and testing (VCT) to more than 800,000 pregnant women around the world. An important objective of VCT is to identify which pregnant women are HIV-positive so they can receive antiretroviral drugs to prevent transmitting HIV to their infants. HIV counseling and testing also offer an opportunity to promote HIV prevention, encourage serostatus disclosure, and foster couple communication on HIV and PMTCT. This brief focuses on VCT in the antenatal care setting, examining service utilization by pregnant women, their perceptions of services, client outcomes as a result of undergoing HIV counseling and testing, and strategies for improving quality and coverage of VCT as a key component of PMTCT programs.

Abstract:

Preventing unintended pregnancy among HIV-positive women through family planning (FP) services is one of the four cornerstones of a comprehensive program for prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission (PMTCT). Reducing unintended pregnancies among HIV-positive women would yield a reduction in infections among infants and a reduction in the number of children potentially orphaned when parents die of AIDS-related illnesses. It also reduces HIV-positive women's vulnerability to morbidity and mortality related to pregnancy and lactation. In addition, family planning for both HIV-positive and -negative women safeguards their health by enabling them to space births. This brief focuses on findings from Horizons studies on the extent to which voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) and PMTCT programs address family planning. In Kenya and Zambia, the Horizons Program collaborated with NARESA and the MTCT Working Group, respectively, and UNICEF to document the acceptability, operational barriers, costs, and impact of pilot PMTCT services.

HIV and partner violence: Implications for HIV voluntary counseling and testing. Population Council, 2001. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/hiv2001.1006.

Abstract:

An important component of HIV voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) programs is encouraging clients to inform partners of their serostatus, yet many clients do not do so. Studies have found that a serious barrier to disclosure for women is fear of a violent reaction by male partners and that HIV-infected women are at increased risk for partner violence. Building on previous research, this study explored the links between HIV infection, serostatus disclosure, and partner violence among women attending the Muhimbili Health Information Center (MHIC), a VCT clinic in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. As noted in this summary, the study first collected qualitative data from women, men, and couples (n=67) who were MHIC clients. In the second phase, researchers enrolled 340 women after pre-test counseling and prior to collection of test results, and 245 women were interviewed three months after enrollment and testing. Nearly a third of the sample were HIV-positive, almost half were married, and 50 percent were between the ages of 18 and 29 and had less than seven years of education. The study followed WHO ethical and safety protocols for conducting research on violence against women.

Programme recommendations for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV: A practical guide for managers. Population Council, 2003. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/hiv2003.1009.

Full text

Abstract:

UNAIDS estimates that 800,000 children were infected with HIV in 2001, almost all through transmission of the virus from their mothers during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. Of these, seven of each eight live in sub-Saharan Africa and most of the rest live in South and Southeast Asia. To combat mother-to-child transmission of HIV (MTCT), in 1999 the UNAIDS Secretariat, UNFPA, UNICEF, and WHO launched the Inter Agency Task Team on Prevention of HIV Transmission in Pregnant Women, Mothers, and Their Children (IATT), which provides guidance for prevention of MTCT (PMTCT). In the view of the IATT, PMTCT is part of broader strategies to prevent the transmission of HIV and sexually transmitted diseases, to care for HIV-positive women and their families, and to promote maternal-child health. The IATT has proposed a four-pronged approach for the prevention of HIV transmission to pregnant women, mothers, and their children, yet significant financial and technical challenges remain. To address these challenges, UNICEF has supported 11 pilot projects in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. This HIV/AIDS working paper provides guidance for improving and scaling up PMTCT programs, based on what program managers and evaluators identify as successful strategies.

Community involvement in the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV: Insights and recommendations. Population Council, 2001. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/hiv2001.1008.

Full text

Abstract:

Mother-to-child transmission is the primary route of HIV infection in children under 15 years of age. Since the beginning of the HIV epidemic, an estimated 5.1 million children worldwide have been infected with HIV. Clinical trials in several countries have shown that mother-to-child transmission of HIV can be greatly reduced through administering antiretroviral therapy to pregnant women. These trials culminated in a recommendation by UNAIDS and its partners in the Interagency Task Team for the Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission that prevention of perinatal transmission should be a part of the standard package of care for HIV-positive women and their children. Moreover, prevention programs can enhance communities’ response to HIV. In 1999, the Population Council and the International Center for Research on Women initiated activities to identify mechanisms for enhancing community involvement in efforts to prevent mother-to-child transmission. The organizations reviewed the literature on community involvement in the introduction of technologies and assessed community views on preventing mother-to-child transmission in Botswana and Zambia. The literature review provided information about community involvement in earlier introductions of technologies. As noted in this report, that information can guide appropriate and effective community involvement.
