The goal of reaching and sustaining elimination of perinatal transmission of HIV in Georgia is within reach. In the United States, New York, Illinois, and Florida have demonstrated successful reduction rates of mother to child transmission of HIV through their Perinatal HIV program that focus on perinatal case management, HIV testing, and provider education.
Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) and Office of HIV/AIDS have developed strategic priorities based on highlighted findings to support the HIV Perinatal program to reduce perinatal transmission of HIV. These strategic priorities will bridge gaps of missed opportunities of care among HIV positive pregnant women in Georgia and illuminate the program’s overarching goal to prevent perinatal HIV transmission.
