What is mother-to-child-transmission? How is the virus passed on to the baby? What are HIV positive pregnant women's options? These are some of the questions that the Beat It! Team set out to answer in this the third episode of the 1999 series.
In this episode of Beat It! the team interviewed a whole spectrum of people with experiences around the prevention-of-mother-to-child-transmission and with their help debunked the argument that the roll-out of PMTCT will be economically impractical. The episode actually arrived at the exact opposite conclusion: by not rolling-out PMTCT AIDS sick babies will place bigger strain on the healthcare system.
