  5. Introduction • Sexual assault -any sexual act performed by one (or more) person(s) on another without consent. • May include the use or threat of force. In some cases, the person does not give consent to have sex because he or she is unconscious or otherwise incapacitated. • A person may be raped by a stranger, an acquaintance or date, or a family member. • Rape is a legal term it refers to any penetration of a body orifice (mouth, vagina, or anus) involving force or the threat of force or incapacity (i.e., associated with young or old age, cognitive or physical disability, or drug or alcohol intoxication) without consent.

  6. Sexual violence • Rape • Attempted rape • Gang rape • Defilement • Attempted defilement • Indecent act • Sexual assault • Incest by males and females • Deliberate transmission of HIV and any other life threatening sexually transmissible infections • Sexual offences relating to positions of authority and persons in positions of trust

  7. After sexual assault. Now what ? • Why did this happen to me? • Could I have prevented this? • Will I develop an infection or become pregnant as a result of the assault? • Who should I call first? • Should I report this to the police? • Is this reportable? • Since I was drinking, isn't this my fault?

  8. The following steps are recommended after sexual assault • Find a safe environment away from the assailant • Call a close friend or relative – someone who will offer unconditional support • Seek medical care; do not change clothes, bathe, douche, or brush your teeth until evidence is collected. A complete medical evaluation includes evidence collection, a physical examination, treatment and/or counseling. You do not have to do any part of this evaluation that you do not want to do.

  9. At the clinic • History taking • Head to toe examination • Genito-anal examination • Investigations for clinical management of the survivor • Investigations carried out for evidence purposes • Management of physical injuries • Post exposure prophylaxis • Pregnancy prevention • Prophylaxis of STI’s including Hep B

Counseling or psychotherapy • Counseling or psychotherapy can be helpful in dealing with the events of the assault itself as well as the anger, fear, depression, or anxiety that many people feel afterwards. • Several types of healthcare providers provide counseling, including social workers, psychologists, nurses, and psychiatrists. Some people prefer to meet one-on-one with a counselor while others prefer to meet in a group setting with other people who have had similar experiences.

  23. Steps towards eMTCT Towards the elimination of Mother-to-child transmission of hiv Report of a WHO technical consultation:9-11 November 2010 Geneva, Switzerland

  24. Outline • Eliminating new HIV infections in children • Early diagnosis and treatment of HIV infected children • Adolescent Prevention and Treatment • Call to Action

  25. Key concepts in vertical transmission Transmission timeline • Transmission can occur during pregnancy, labor & delivery, and postpartum during breast feeding • Not all infants born to women living with HIV will acquire HIV infection • Estimated risk 25-45% without any intervention Source: DeCock et al. JAMA.2000; 283:1175-1182.

  26. Benefits of preventing mother to child transmission of HIV • AIDS related deaths -reversing the gains made in child health and survival in Kenya. • Caring for HIV-infected children has major economic and social impacts on families and health systems. Thus at the national level, preventing MTCT has the potential to increase the understanding and acceptance of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and those living with HIV/AIDS. • Counseling, testing and community sensitization can contribute to reducing stigma. Reduction of MTCT of HIV: • Decreases numbers of HIV infected children • Increases child health and survival • Decreases the load on the health system • Gives an opportunity to improve and expand health services as well as to strengthen the existing health infrastructure

  27. PMTCT Global targets and indicators

  28. MDG’s • MDGs are a framework of 8 goals, 18 targets and 48 indicators to measure progress towards the Millennium Development goals - • Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases • Target 6.A: Have halted by 2015 and begun to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS • Target 6.B: Achieve, by 2010, universal access to treatment for HIV/AIDS for all those who need it • Target 6.C: Have halted by 2015 and begun to reverse the incidence of malaria and other major diseases

  34. Call to Action • Simplify our programmatic approaches to allow integration of PMTCT/ART in maternal child health services at the lowest levels of care – to optimize treatment access, adherence and retention • Introduce innovative approaches to expand provider initiated HIV testing to adolescents, pregnant women and their partners • Expand early infant diagnosis and integrate childhood HIV treatment and care at lower level facilities and child survival programs • Collaborate with community groups, including people living with HIV, to enhance support to women and their families to maintain good adherence and retention in care and treatment • Focus on how to effectively deliver high impact interventions to adolescent to achieve the best prevention and treatment benefits
