Cuba continues to have the rest of the world GAGGING!
#WorldAIDSDay
Didn’t they “eliminate” mother-child AIDS by sequestering pregnant women with aids until they died?
Cuba isn’t a great place guys. Stop acting like it is.
As part of the initiative, the country has worked to ensure early access to prenatal care, HIV and syphilis testing for both pregnant women and their partners, treatment for women who test positive and their babies, caesarean deliveries and substitution of breastfeeding. These services are provided as part of an equitable, accessible and universal health system in which maternal and child health programs are integrated with programs for HIV and sexually transmitted infections.
“Cuba’s success demonstrates that universal access and universal health coverage are feasible and indeed are the key to success, even against challenges as daunting as HIV,” said PAHO Director, Dr Carissa F. Etienne. “Cuba’s achievement today provides inspiration for other countries to advance towards elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV and syphilis”.
In order to reduce the mother-to-child transmission rate of both of these, an initiative was set up in 2010 that improved access to testing and treatment for these infections, caesarian deliveries and breastfeeding substitutes. These services, which form part of Cuba’s universal health system, are being implemented in a number of other countries and are demonstrably helping towards the global target of less than 40,000 new infections annually.
