Malawi 2011: Option B+ Start HAART for any women identified as HIV+ in pregnancy and continue for life Simplifies PMTCT programme requirements - no need for CD4 testing or need to stop ART after pregnancy Extended protection to prevent vertical transmission in future pregnancies Protection from sexual transmission to partners Benefit to woman’s health More costly in short-term, but likely cost-effective over time

AIDS 2016: Option B+ Chewe Luo (UNICEF) plenary By 2015, 21 of the 22 target LMIC had adopted Option B+ S. Africa was relatively late to adopt the strategy but has rolled this out very effectively Which country in SSA has not yet got it’s act together?....

TUSS06 – New evidence: why do young women in Africa have higher rates of HIV infection? T de Oliviera phylogenetic mapping: 1,500 viruses sequenced. Included an infant whose mother was HIV uninfected. Checked family members: incredibly tightly linked virus found in one of the aunts. Turned out she had breast fed the baby when mum went back to work. Proof that the methodology was working.

T de Oliviera 202 linked clusters identified possible to identify one partner monogamous partnership, and clusters of eg 5 males and 11 women. Knew ages ad sex of individuals from whom samples were obtained. Enabled linkage analysis to show that girls aged 15-19 were linked to men on average 11 years older than them.
