Integrating Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Within Antenatal and Postnatal Services
As countries face declining HIV funding, prioritizing prevention is both a strategic and cost-effective response. Preventing new infections, especially among vulnerable populations like pregnant and breastfeeding women (PBFW), can reduce long-term treatment costs and advance progress towards the elimination of vertical transmission. WHO recommends Pre exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV negative PBFW who are at risk of HIV acquisition. This webinar will offer countries a platform to share practical experiences on PrEP for PBFW including innovative approaches, successes, challenges, and adaptations that support initiation and continuity.
Objectives
By the end of the session, participants will;
- Learn about the current WHO recommendations on PrEP for PBFW.
- Gain insights on the successful strategies and innovative approaches to increase PrEP uptake and continuity.
- Understand the implementation challenges as well as adaptations made during implementation.
