Moldova aspires to status of country that eliminated mother-to-child transmission of HIV

The Republic of Moldova will be assessed by the World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe as it aspires to obtain the status of country that eliminated the mother-to-child transmission of HIV, IPN reports.

According to the Ministry of Health, the rate of the mother-to-child transmission of HIV is lower than 2%. The assessments at national level show that over 95% of the pregnant women in Moldova are under medical supervision until they give birth and are tested for HIV. Also, over 90% of the HIV-infected pregnant women benefit from antiretroviral therapy that essentially reduces the risk of mother-to-child transmission of HIV.

At the start of June, the Republic of Moldova was declared country that managed to eliminate the mother-to-child transmission of congenital syphilis. The announcement was made in a New York ceremony held on the occasion of the Nations General Assembly High-Level Meeting on Ending AIDS.
