This book presents a comprehensive compilation of guidelines for prenatal HIV testing services, developed in collaboration with the California Department of Health Services and the US Department of Health and Human Services. Recognizing HIV as a major public health concern, particularly among women of color, the author emphasizes the urgent need for standardized prenatal HIV testing to reduce perinatal HIV transmission. By examining data from clinical trials and research, the author explores the benefits of early HIV detection and the availability of treatments to prevent mother-to-child transmission. The book also provides practical guidance for healthcare providers on offering HIV information, counseling, and testing to pregnant women. It includes sample documentation forms, a glossary of terms, and resources for providers and clients.
