Mother to child transmission of HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa
Challenges and barriers that prevent a decline
Focusing on the mechanisms of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa, this seminar paper explores the persistent challenges associated with the issue. It highlights the significant social and economic barriers that hinder access to anti-retroviral treatments (ART) for mothers and others affected. The discussion emphasizes the impact of social stigma as a critical factor that discourages individuals from seeking necessary medical help, revealing the complexities surrounding reproductive justice in the region.
