Join us in Supporting 'A Mother's Fight'

More than 1,000 children are infected with HIV every day. By providing counseling, testing and access to treatment services and medicines for expectant mothers, we can reduce the risk of mother-to-child transmission drastically.


The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation works to ensure that more pregnant women promptly receive the treatments they need by improving the availability of HIV testing and counseling in pregnancy, as well as CD4 testing to determine their treatment eligibility and to assess their overall health status.
