Mother-to-child transmission of HIV in Kenya: A cross-sectional analysis of the national database over nine years

Abstract

Despite impressive gains in Kenya's PMTCT program, some HIV-infected infants present late and are not benefitting from PMTCT best practices. Efforts to identify these early and enforce evidence-based practice for PMTCT should be scaled up. Infant testing should be expanded in pediatric/outpatient departments, given high yields in these portals.
