These methods consider various epidemic and demographic parameters, such as HIV prevalence among women of reproductive age, the effect of HIV on fertility, and national program coverage of antiretroviral therapy. These statistical modeling procedures provide a comprehensive population-based estimate of the number of pregnant women living with HIV who need antiretrovirals for PMTCT in the country.\n\n### Development relevance:\nHIV can be transmitted through sexual contact, blood transfusions, and the sharing of contaminated needles, and it can also be transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. Although the number of children acquiring HIV has decreased over time, mother-to-child transmission remains a significant public health concern.\n\nPrevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) is critical for reducing new pediatric HIV infections. However, many pregnant and breastfeeding women still do not begin ART or discontinue treatment during this period, contributing to continued transmission risks. Strengthening PMTCT services and ensuring continuity of care are essential for achieving global HIV prevention goals.
