Preventing pediatric HIV involves several strategies: 1. Preventing mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT): This includes antiretroviral treatment for the mother during pregnancy, safe delivery practices, and ART for the newborn. 2. Safe breastfeeding practices: HIV-positive mothers should receive counseling on safe breastfeeding options, including the potential use of formula or antiretroviral medications to reduce transmission risk. 3. Education and Awareness: Educating families about HIV transmission and prevention is essential.
