DJIBOUTI, Djibouti, 23 June 2008 -- Shortly before giving birth to her second child, Saida, 22, became ill and was tested for HIV through a UNICEF-supported maternal health clinic. Saida now knows she is living with HIV, but her passion for life and her determination to care for her young family have not been diminished by the diagnosis. "I would have been dead," Saida says. "They used to say it was tuberculosis to explain why people were dying. But now they test for HIV. They can take care of you and you can survive." When Saida received her diagnosis, she immediately began a programme to prevent mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV. The PMTCT programme provides women with free anti-retroviral drugs and health care for their children. UNICEF is working to raise community awareness of HIV prevention and working with non-governmental organizations to provide social support to people like Saida who are living with HIV and AIDS.

If a woman who is HIV positive becomes pregnant, there's a risk that her baby will contract HIV during pregnancy, childbirth, or breast feeding. Becky Kuhn, M.D. explains how the risk can be reduced through the use of antiretroviral medications for the mother and the infant and the use of formula instead of breast feeding. These guidelines are for women in developed countries with reliable access to ARVs, formula, and clean water. Visit http://www.GlobalLifeworks.org and http://AIDSvideos.org to learn more.
