1 Tshwane District: Working smarter, not harder PMTCT in Action: Improving PMTCT for mother-infant pairs in the Tshwane District UTE FEUCHT UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA & TSHWANE DISTRICT HEALTH SERVICES DATE: 3 MARCH 2017 Children in the Tshwane District PMTCT cascade HIV-exposed but uninfected child Antenatal care Delivery Malnutrition Clinical care, including HIV test Maternal ART Infant birth PCR test Infant ART prophylaxis Repeated HIV tests Maternal HIV care HIV & HIVexposure Social risks HIV-infected child Confirmatory HIV test Urgent ART Maternal HIV care TB Long road Mom & baby Various health facilities Tshwane District: Paediatric HIV case surveillance WBOT & Family Medicine Health facilities (Test, trace, treat) MCWH & HAST NHLS DCST PMTCT cascade: 1 st Prong: Preconceptual Keeping women HIV-negative Planned pregnancies FPD Data systems M&E HIV Prevalence in South Africa, by age and sex (2012) 1

2 PMTCT cascade: Pregnancy Tshwane District: Antenatal 1 st visit before 20 weeks rate Early ANC booking HIV-testing at first ANC visit HIV-negative: Retesting every 3 months (pregnancy & BF) Consent process to include future testing New HIV+: Counselling Include adherence, transmission risks and infant testing Immediate : FDC Contra-indications to FDC: High-risk pregnancy Start AZT immediately and refer for 3 single ART drugs VL after 3 months / % 61.7% 60.5% 49.0% Quarter 1 Quarter 2 Quarter 3 Quarter / % 60.8% 57.2% Antenatal client HIV re-test rate Tshwane District: 2016/ Antenatal client initiated on ART rate Tshwane District: 2016/ % 95.4% 97.9% Antenatal client HIV re-test positive rate Tshwane District: 2016/ Infant given NVP within 72 hours after birth uptake rate Tshwane District: 2016/ % 96.0% 98.2% Maternal Viral loads! Documentation! Labour and delivery If VL does not come down!! Women on ART: Continue regular ART (Re-)Test all HIV-negative women presenting in labour Should there be any exceptions to this rule?? ART prophylaxis (if not on ART): 2

3 Number of respondents Infant PMTCT Prophylaxis We know: Breastfeeding is best! But what about HIV-transmission? Clinical scenario Infant prophylaxis Mother on lifelong ART NVP x 6w <4w of maternal ART NVP x 12 w (if BF, otherwise 6w NVP) Maternal VL >1,000 NVP & AZT x 6w Unknown maternal HIV NVP within 72h, then x 6w Imminent change (new EDL) Low risk: Mother on lifelong ART Infant prophylaxis NVP x 6w High risk: NVP & AZT x 12 w 14 Breastfeeding & HIV: Paradigm shifts From HIV transmission to HIV free survival ART to either mother or infant makes BF a safe option! Move to a public health approach for infant feeding in the HIV context If 100 HIV-infected women breastfeed until their children are two years old, how many children will be infected at age 2 years? (no ART to mother or child) Options: A) 0-20 B) C) D) E) Don't Know Number of infants infected Correct answer ~14 Chopra and Rollins, Arch. Dis. Child Infant feeding options: WHO 2010 National (or sub-national) authorities to decide on infant feeding practice for HIV+ mothers to be promoted and supported by Maternal and Child Health services: ----BF with ART prophylaxis, OR ----Avoidance of all BF as the strategy that will most likely give infants the greatest chance of HIV-free survival. Taking into account: Socio-economic and cultural context Availability and quality of health services Main causes of maternal and child under-nutrition Main causes of infant and child mortality in settings where national authorities decide to promote & support BF + ART Which BF practices and for how long? HIV+ mothers: EBF for first 6 mo Then introduction of appropriate complementary foods Continue BF for first 12 mo of life BF only to stop once nutritionally adequate & safe diet without BM can be provided 3

4 PMTCT guideline change for infant testing (1 June 2015) 2016 WHO GUIDELINES: - NOT YET ADOPTED IN SA - HARMONISING DURATION OF BF (2 YRS) - NB: With ART + VL suppression - GUIDANCE ON MIXED FEEDING - Any BF is better than no BF HIV testing protocol for all HIV-exposed infants: Birth PCR for all HIV-exposed infants 10w PCR: All infants who tested negative at birth 18w PCR: All infants on extended 12w NVP PCR 6w post cessation of BF Rapid HIV test at 18m Symptomatic testing at any stage Implementation of birth PCR testing: Practical implications Why did we move to birth PCR testing? CHANGING EPIDEMIC RELIABILITY OF TESTS SYSTEM WEAKNESSES HIGH RISK INFANTS EARLY ART Identification of infants (24/7/365) Including BBAs, emergency deliveries, etc Consent Why not before baby is born? Staff to perform PCR testing New cadre of staff involved Need for Baby facility registration numbers Recordkeeping NB: Tracing information Treat the newborn as a new patient Laboratory data on PCR tests: Tshwane November 2016: Total: 2386 (59 PCR+) <7d: 1018 (10 PCR+) 7d-2m: 124 (3 PCR+) 2-6m: 751 (20 PCR+) 6-18m: 357 (20 PCR+) >18m: 136 (6 PCR+) 4
