As the speculated HIV vaccine remains elusive, researchers have become more focused on newer methods of preventing the transmission of the disease especially in situations where prevention has proved most difficult. Take the case of mother to child transmission via breastfeeding as example.

With about 25 Million people living with HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa and 10 million potential mothers amongst them, we have 700,000 children born each year to HIV-positive mothers in the region. An estimated 40% of these children will be infected with the virus through breastfeeding if there’s no intervention,

The quest for a better solution has recently turned up interesting results. ,

Am very impressed with these NGOs and Medical Technologies, they work very hard in helping our communities. They try their best to prevent treatable diseases which cause unnecessary deaths. Only the stigama is a huge problem in Africa.

yes really impressive, it gets me thinking: if others can do so much for us what are we doing for ourselves (Africa) not to talk of others
