Toward the Elimination of Sexual HIV Transmission: Integrating Reproductive Health
Preconception care and safer conception counseling offer a unique opportunity to embrace the reproductive health rights of HIV-affected couples while maximizing the health of both partners, preventing sexual and vertical HIV transmission, and preventing unplanned pregnancies.
Did you know?
- The CDC estimates there are 140,000 heterosexual, HIV-mixed status couples in the U.S.
- Half of these mixed-status couples desire children
- Pregnancy increases both the risk of HIV transmission and acquisition. 85% of HIV+ women report at least one unplanned pregnancy
Participants will learn about:
- PRO Men (Positive Reproductive Outcomes for HIV+ Men), an innovative initiative of the Bay Area
- Perinatal AIDS Center (BAPAC) and San Francisco General Hospital’s Ward 86 HIV Clinic
- The BAPAC/PRO Men approach to integrated reproductive health including PrEP, safer conception and family planning
- Lessons learned on the road toward the elimination of sexual HIV transmission
- Coalition-building in Chicago around HIV, reproductive, and sexual health
- Building community engagement through consumer participation
