Cuernavaca Consultation: Regional Consultation on the Use of Communication for the Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission of HIV/AIDS in Latin America and the Caribbean
The consultation took place in Cuernavaca, Mexico on 6-8 February 2002. Its purpose was to review current experiences of communication support for the Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) and make recommendations for PMTCT communications in Latin America and the Caribbean.The transmission of HIV from mother to child is responsible for over 90% of infections among children under the age of 15. The effects are dramatic. AIDS is beginning to reverse decades of steady progress in child survival. But effective and feasible interventions to reduce mother-to-child transmission are now available and could save the lives of thousands of children each year.(2/Feb/2002)
