(ĐN)- Early HIV testing is essential for pregnant women to minimise the risk to transmit the virus from mother to child.
This is the main message of the action month to prevent mother-to-child HIV transmission from June 1-30.
The action month aims to raise the awareness of people from all walks of life, especially pregnant women and spouses of people with HIV, of the benefits of early HIV testing, contributing to erase mother-to-child transmission of HIV by 2020.
Activities held during the month included expanding HIV testing for pregnant women, and providing anti-retroviral drugs for HIV-infected women.
Dong Nai is now providing antiretroviral treatment to more than 3,000 people living with HIV, including 134 children.
