About the simplified life-long antiretroviral treatment (Option B+):

Is the new simplified life-long antiretroviral therapy (Option B+) for all pregnant and breastfeeding women living with HIV. The new treatment is in the form of one pill, taken once a day (compared to the previous treatment of up to six pills per day).This treatment can be provided at the community level, at local primary care facilities. It keeps mothers healthier, as they continue taking it even after giving birth, through breastfeeding and beyond.  CSSC ART program expect  massive expansion of the treatment coverage for both pregnant and breastfeeding women living with HIV.
