HIV in Pregnancy and Neonatal Care

This comprehensive topic addresses the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV, a critical component of Zambian tertiary health education. Covering virology, transmission routes, antenatal testing protocols, and postnatal management of HIV-exposed infants, it is essential for students in nursing, midwifery, and medicine. The module delves into antiretroviral therapy, infant feeding options (EBF vs. replacement feeding), and co-trimoxazole prophylaxis. For Zambian college and university students, mastery ensures competency in national PMTCT guidelines, prepares them for professional certification exams, and readies them for frontline roles in reducing pediatric HIV. This knowledge directly supports Zambia's public health goals and improves care for mothers and infants.
