1 Figure S1: Overview of PMTCT Options A and B Prevention of Mother to Child HIV Transmission (PMTCT) Option A: combined Antiretroviral therapy (ART) for all women meeting WHO 2010 criteria for initiation (CD4<350, WHO Stage III or IV) and Nevirapine for the infant during the first 6 weeks of breast-feeding. For those women with CD4>350 or WHO Stage I/II, prophylactic (short course) treatment with Zidovudine for the mother during pregnancy from the 14 th week of gestation; intra-partum combined ART, and Nevirapine for the infant during the entire breast-feeding period 21. Option B: Combined ART for all women regardless of CD4 and clinical stage. However, this is stopped after complete cessation of breastfeeding in those women not meeting WHO 2010 criteria for ART initiation (CD4>350 or WHO Stage I or II). Nevirapine is given to the infant during the first 6 weeks of the breast-feeding period 21.

2 Supplementary information S1: Details of PMTCT B+ pilot implementation in Nhlangano Health Zone, Shiselweni, Swaziland (Jan July 2013) Clinical SOPs for the PMTCT B+ pilot programme were developed by MSF with support from the Swaziland National AIDS Program (SNAP) and the Sexual and Reproductive Health Unit (SRHU) of the Ministry of Health. When the pilot was launched, the country as a whole continued to follow the PMTCT option A approach. Sensitisation of the population of Nhlangano health zone, selected for the PMTCT B+ pilot, relied on stakeholder meetings, training workshops for health workers, and community mobilisation carried out within the health zone, rather than media (TV, radio or print). Combined ART would henceforth be offered to all pregnant and breastfeeding HIV+ women after counselling. Ideally it should be initiated within one week of the first ANC appointment, and no later than 32 weeks gestation. After discussion with the SRHU, it was agreed that prophylactic therapy (Zidovudine for mother, Nevirapine for baby) would still be offered to women refusing combined ART, since if this was not offered women hesitant about starting ART might seek care in other health zones, or may leave the ANC visit without an effective ARV intervention for preventing vertical transmission. At the start of the pilot study, same day initiation of combined ART was not encouraged. This decision was made following discussions with the National PMTCT Technical Working Group (led by the Swaziland Ministry of Health), where it was felt that same-day initiation would result in coercion of patients and high early attrition. However, after 3 months it was noted that median time to ART initiation was well over the one-week target, a decision was made to adapt the SOPs in favour of same-day initiation, for women who were ready. Women not ready to initiate would be invited for review one week later, at which time prophylactic therapy (Zidovidine/ Nevirapine) would be proposed if the woman was still not ready to start combined ART. These updated SOPs were issued in July 2013 and are available online (online supplementary information S2).

3 PMTCT B+ - Standard Procedures for Antenatal care All pregnant women should have an HIV test (unless known to be HIV+), and be screened for TB. If TB suspect, follow up care as usual. Encourage partner to be tested for HIV, and invite him to next visit. If the patient tests negative for HIV: Provide HIV post test counselling, including condom demonstration and strategies for risk reduction. Ensure partner knows his HIV status. Advise the patient that they should be retested for HIV every 8 weeks throughout pregnancy and breast-feeding If the patient is known to be HIV+, and is already on combined ART: Continue her current treatment. This includes TDF and EFV based regimens, which are safe in pregnancy. Ensure patient has a Chronic Care file, and is registered in the ART register If the patient is HIV+ but not on combined ART (i.e. newly diagnose, or previously diagnosed but not on treatment, or only taking AZT prophylaxis): Ensure post-test counselling if newly diagnosed HIV+. Open file and register in the pre-art register. Carry out clinical staging and ensure standard lab tests are done: Hb, CD4 (if not done in last 3 months), VL, renal function, liver function, Urinalysis. If available, do VDRL, Hep B and C. Explain that in Nhlangano zone, all HIV+ pregnant women are recommended cart. Ensure that she has seen the PMTCT information sheet available in the clinic. Initiate cart if no contraindications, and ensure patient is registered in the ART register. o Refer to EC for 1 st session of ART readiness counselling today. EC should book 2 nd session for within 1 week. Her 3 rd counselling session should happen at her next ANC visit. If the woman is not ready to initiate ART today, do not give AZT (unless > 32 weeks pregnant)*. Book a 2 nd appointment for 1 week, and refer to EC for 1 st session ART readiness counselling today o At the 2 nd appointment, initiate cart if no contraindications and she is now ready. Refer to EC for 2 nd session of ART readiness counselling today (3 nd session at next ANC appointment) o If the woman is still not ready to start ART, address her concerns and remind her of the need for ART to protect the baby. If she still refuses ART, start the prophylactic regimen (AZT for mother from 14 weeks of pregnancy, intra-partum ARVs, extended NVP for baby). o If the woman misses any appointment, call her and book an urgent appointment. When she next comes to ANC, initiate cart if no contraindications and she is now ready. If the woman is still not ready to start ART, start the prophylactic (AZT-based) regimen. All pregnant women should receive NVP syrup for the baby At every visit, give adherence counselling (Nurse and EC) for all patients newly initiated on cart. * If the woman is more than 32 weeks pregnant, she must not leave the clinic without an ARV treatment (initiate cart if she is ready, if not the prophylactic (AZT-based) regimen).

Offer patient the option to change to ART at every visit Note: * If the woman is more than 32 weeks pregnant, she must not leave the clinic without an ARV treatment (initiate cart if she is ready, if not the prophylactic (AZT-based) regimen). ᶧ Contraindications to TDF-3TC-EFV are summarized in the National ART Guidelines. If the woman has renal impairment, AZT-3TC-EFV can be given. If EFV intolerant, use NVP based regimens

5 PMTCT B+ - Standard Procedures for Maternity care All pregnant women should have an HIV test (unless known to be HIV+), and be screened for TB. If TB suspect, follow up care as usual. Encourage partner to be tested for HIV, and invite him to next visit. If the patient tests negative for HIV: Provide HIV post test counselling, including condom demonstration and strategies for risk reduction. Ensure partner knows his HIV status. Advise the patient that they should be retested for HIV every 8 weeks throughout breast-feeding If the patient is known to be HIV+, and is already on combined ART: Continue her current treatment If the patient is HIV+ but not on combined ART (i.e. newly diagnosed, or previously diagnosed but not on treatment, or only taking AZT prophylaxis): Provide post-test counselling in the case of a new diagnosis of HIV. Ensure the patient has a Chronic Care file, and is registered in the pre-art register Ensure that the patient has seen the PMTCT information sheet available in the facility. Explain that in Nhlangano Zone, all HIV+ pregnant and breast-feeding women are now recommended combined ART. Address any questions she has about this. Inform the woman that she will be offered this treatment at the PHU / Clinics after her discharge. To protect the baby, the woman should receive single dose intra-partum Nevirapine and 1 week AZT / 3TC. She should also receive 1 bottle of Nevirapine syrup for the baby. However, at discharge from maternity, the woman is referred to the PHU or PHC for initiation of combined ART. If the woman is discharged when the PHU is closed, she should be advised to attend the PHU or PHC as soon as possible. Give appointment date at the mother s PHC or PHU, and document in the mother s card and child welfare card. Document mother s contact details, and the details of her treatment supporter (e.g. cell phone numbers) both in the mothers file and the maternity and appointment register.

6 PMTCT B+ - Standard Procedures for Maternity care HIV + on combined ART HIV + on AZT or no PMTCT treatment HIV or unknown Do HIV test Normal maternity care. HIV + do post-test counseling and enroll in pre-art care HIV- give posttest counseling. Continue normal maternity care Explain that she should initiate ART after delivery (if on AZT, can change to combined ART) At delivery, give SD NVP and AZT/3TC for 7 days to mother, initiate NVP syrup for baby Refer to PHU or PHC after delivery for initiation of combined ART Note: The algorithm is applicable only in early labour or after delivery.
