  • Barriers associated with the utilization of continued care among HIV-infected women who had previously enrolled in a private sector PMTCT program in Maharashtra, India

    Mayuri Panditrao, Mayuri V Panditrao et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2015

    Prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) programs are considered as an entry point to continued care because they provide an opportunity to link an HIV-infected woman, her partner, and child(ren) (if infected) to long-term treatment and care. However, little is known about the factors associated with the utilization of continued care among women who have previously accessed PMTCT services. Better knowledge of the barriers to continued c…

  • Pattern of linkage and retention in HIV care continuum among patients attending referral HIV care clinic in private sector in India

    Ritu Parchure, Vinay Kulkarni et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2015

    Continued engagement throughout the HIV care continuum, from HIV diagnosis through retention on antiretroviral therapy (ART), is crucial for enhancing impact of HIV care programs. We assessed linkage and retention in HIV care among people living with HIV (PLHIV) enrolled at a private HIV care clinic in Pune, India. Of 1220 patients, 28% delayed linkage after HIV diagnosis with a median delay of 24 months (IQR = 8-43). Younger people, women, low s…

While the government of India has made progress increasing the availability of prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) services, only about one quarter of pregnant women received an HIV test in 2010, and about one-in-five that were found positive for HIV received interventions to prevent vertical transmission of HIV. METHODS: …

  • HIV risk perception among pregnant women in western India

    Shrinivas Darak, Mukta Gadgil et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2014

    Since the beginning of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in India, pregnant women attending antenatal clinics (ANC) have been considered as a low HIV risk population. Yet, a substantial proportion of new HIV infections are occurring among stable heterosexual couples. This paper sought to investigate the proportion and profile of women who, within the low-risk population, are potentially at higher risk of HIV infection. HIV risk perception of pregnant women e…

  • Socio-demographic factors associated with loss to follow-up of HIV-infected women attending a private sector PMTCT program in Maharashtra, India

    Currently, 40% of HIV-infected women enrolled in national prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) program in India are loss to follow-up (LTF) before they can receive single dose Nevirapine. To date no study from India has examined the reasons for inadequate utilization of PMTCT services. This study sought to examine the socio-demographic factors associated with LTF of HIV-infected women enrolled during 2002-2008 in a large-scale priva…

  • Couple-oriented prenatal HIV counseling for HIV primary prevention

    Open AccessJoanna Orne-Gliemann, Patrice Tchendjou et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010

    One of the keys to men's involvement within prenatal HIV counseling and testing is the better understanding of couple relationships, attitudes and communication patterns between men and women, in terms of HIV and sexual and reproductive health; this conjugal context should be taken into account in the provision of quality prenatal HIV counseling, which aims at integrated PMTCT and primary prevention of HIV
