 Huge gap in maternal health and PPTCT services in remote rural

areas

 Revised PPTCT guidelines emphasize early identification of HIV

for early initiation of ART

 Nagpur in Maharashtra and Adilabad in Andhra Pradesh are high

prevalent districts

 Proposes to implement a blend of scientific and social innovation

 Early identification of vulnerable pregnant women for

improved maternal health care

 Integration of rapid HIV testing (traditional whole blood and

feasibility of innovative non invasive Ora-quick)

 Strengthening rapid HIV testing at point of care along with

inclusive community mobilization may improve early
detection of HIV
