摘要
From 2002 to 2005 the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV project operated in Georgia and was managed by the Maternal and Child Care Union. The project covered Tbilisi, the capital, and included 34 clinics that provide women's healthcare. Out of 35,385 pregnant women starting prenatal care in clinics involved in the project, 91% (32,262) had received HIV counseling and, among those counseled, 94% (30,330) were tested for HIV antibodies; 14 pregnant women (< 0.001%) were found to be HIV-infected.
