Comprehensive care for pregnant women living with HIV is crucial to ensure their well-being and that of their babies. A comprehensive approach not only focuses on medical treatment to prevent vertical transmission, but also addresses other aspects that affect these women's quality of life. In 20 years of implementation of the HIV-Free Childhood Program, 1,000 babies were born free of the virus, and the same number of women managed to overcome the stigma of living with the diagnosis.
In Mexico, the HIV pandemic has taken on an increasingly feminine face. The so-called "feminization of HIV" refers to the growing number of women, especially young women and women of reproductive age, who are acquiring the virus. Factors such as gender inequality, sexual violence, lack of access to adequate health information and services, as well as economic and emotional dependence, increase their vulnerability. Many women acquire HIV in stable, monogamous relationships.
Promoting that HIV-positive women in the perinatal period acquire knowledge and develop skills that reduce vertical HIV transmission, through strengthening adherence to antiretroviral treatment, management of cofactors and strengthening the mother/child bond.
With this project we can attend more than 100 mothers with HIV diagnostics to prevent maternal-fetal transmition, more than 100 babyes will born with out HIV also this number of mothers and babies will recieve life tools to prevent discrimination and Stigma for living and co living with HIV.
