HIV and Safe Motherhood
Information and activities to improve safe motherhood HIV presents an enormous challenge to Safe Motherhood. It increases risks
for both mother and child. These risks can be reduced through improved care
of women before, during and after pregnancy. HIV and safe motherhood is a 24-page, illustrated publication written in
non-technical language. It provides information for health workers and other
people in sub-Saharan Africa who care for women during and after pregnancy
and delivery. It is also useful for health planners and people who provide
information, advice or counselling on reproductive health and parenthood.
HIV and safe motherhood provides information on:
* HIV in pregnancy
* voluntary counselling and testing for HIV
* care during labour and delivery
* infant feeding and HIV.
And it includes activities for health workers to:
* help them feel more at ease talking about issues around HIV and sexuality
* improve the services they provide
* ensure safe working practices that protect them against HIV transmission
at work.
