Prevention of Parent to Child Transmission (PPTCT) of HIV/AIDS Program by IL&FSETS Global Fund

GRAVIS has implemented this program since 2011 in the districts of Meerut, Ghaziabad & Saharanpur with an objective to prevent transmission of HIV/AIDS to the infant from its HIV positive mother. In this program we referred the ANC women for HIV testing at PPTCT centre located in the Government Women Hospitals and Medical hospitals of the district. If any of these women were detected as positive we connected her to ART centre for CD4 testing and other related treatments. We also had frequent follow ups with these women and her child till the new born was 18 months old. Their weekly/monthly medical follow ups included tests such as Nevirapine, CPT, etc. Our organization has had 100% success rate in this program. This means that not a single new born in our care was tested positive with the HIV infection
