Brief description of study

Aim 1: Assess perceptions of existing MM services and the ability of these services to identify and then impact modifiable factors that influence HIV-affected mother-infant dyads PMTCT outcomes.
Aim 2: Develop an enhanced MM strategy that can respond to the specific needs of HIV-affected mother-infant dyads and that is acceptable and feasible for implementation in resource-constrained settings

Detailed description of study

The objective of this research is to address knowledge gaps and promote optimal prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) outcomes through person-centered development of an enhanced Mentor Mother (MM) strategy that focuses on both the specific-problems faced by HIV-affected mother-infant dyads and the real-world constraints of PMTCT programs. The central hypothesis is that this enhanced MM strategy will improve the care of HIV-affected mother-infant dyads.
