This question is only asked to women who received antenatal care for their last pregnancy in the last two years. AIDS is an illness caused by the HIV virus, which weakens the immune system and leads to death through secondary infections, such as pneumonia. It is transmitted sexually or through contact with contaminated blood. It can also be transmitted from a mother to a child during pregnancy, during delivery or by breast feeding. Information on voluntary HIV counselling and testing helps to assess efforts to curb mother-to-child transmission of HIV and improve the health of mothers and babies. This question asks about counselling offered during antenatal care visits and tries to get an idea of how mother-to-child transmission is being addressed.
