Training on Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT+): Integrated Management of HIV, Syphilis and Hepatitis B
Course Overview
What is PMTCT+ Integrated Management?
PMTCT+ is a comprehensive approach to preventing the transmission of infectious diseases—particularly HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B—from mother to child during pregnancy, labor, delivery, and breastfeeding. It integrates screening, treatment, and follow-up care into a unified maternal and child health service model.
Mother-to-child transmission of HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B remains a major public health challenge, especially in resource-limited settings. Fragmented service delivery, late diagnosis, poor adherence to treatment, and weak follow-up systems contribute to preventable infections in newborns and increased maternal morbidity.
This course equips healthcare providers and program managers with practical skills to deliver integrated PMTCT+ services. It focuses on early screening, timely treatment, coordinated care pathways, and effective follow-up to eliminate vertical transmission and improve maternal and child health outcomes.
Key Concepts Covered
• PMTCT+ framework and integrated service delivery
• Screening and diagnosis of HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B
• Antenatal, intrapartum, and postnatal interventions
• Antiretroviral therapy (ART) and treatment protocols
• Infant prophylaxis and early infant diagnosis (EID)
• Counseling, adherence, and retention in care
• Data management and program monitoring
• Infection prevention and stigma reduction
Participants will apply skills to:
• Provide integrated testing and treatment in antenatal clinics
• Prevent vertical transmission during pregnancy and delivery
• Manage HIV-positive mothers and exposed infants
• Strengthen follow-up and retention in care
• Improve coordination across maternal and child health services
• Reduce transmission rates in high-burden settings
By the end of the course, participants will be able to implement integrated PMTCT+ services, improve maternal treatment adherence, and significantly reduce mother-to-child transmission rates.
