The indicator measures the percentage of pregnant women living with HIV who received antiretroviral medicine among the estimated number of pregnant women living with HIV, to reduce the risk of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of the virus.
Providing antiretroviral medicines (as lifelong therapy or as prophylaxis) for the mother during pregnancy and delivery can significantly reduce the risk of mother-to-child transmission. This indicator allows countries to monitor the coverage of provision of antiretroviral medicines to pregnant women living with HIV to reduce the risk of transmitting HIV to infants during pregnancy and delivery. Since the indicator usually measures the antiretroviral medicines dispensed and not those consumed, adherence to the regimen cannot be determined in most cases. This entails antiretroviral medicine prophylaxis for the infant and antiretroviral medicines for the mother or child if breastfeeding and using safe delivery practices and safer infant feeding. The data will be used to track progress towards global and national goals of eliminating mother-to-child transmission; to inform policy and strategic planning; for advocacy; and for leveraging resources for accelerating scale-up.
Two pieces of information are needed: 1) number of pregnant women living with HIV who gave birth and received antiretroviral medicine during the past 12 months and 2) estimated number of pregnant women living with HIV who gave birth during the past 12 months. The first is obtained from monitoring tools used by programmes, such as patient registers and summary reporting forms. The second from surveys used for the surveillance of antenatal clinics in conjunction with demographic data, or estimation models such as Spectrum. Using these two estimates, the indicator is calculated by dividing the number of HIV-positive pregnant women who received antiretrovirals in the past 12 months by the number of HIV-positive pregnant women in the past 12 months.

More about indicator and sources
This indicator allows countries to monitor the coverage of provision of antiretroviral medicines to pregnant women living with HIV to reduce the risk of transmitting HIV to infants during pregnancy and delivery. Since the indicator usually measures the antiretroviral medicines dispensed and not those consumed, adherence to the regimen cannot be determined in most cases.
Figures which are reported as > 95% for this indicator on the UNAIDS AIDSinfo database are shown on this African Health Stats platform as 95% for the following countries: Benin (2016); Botswana (2010, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2016); Cape Verde (2015, 2016, 2017); Eswatini (2011, 2014); Gamiba (2012); Guinea-Bissau (2014); Lesotho (2011); Namibia (2017); South Africa (2014,2016, 2017); Uganda (2014-2017); Tanzania (2012); Zambia (2010, 2011) and Zimbabwe (2017). Where the value was reported as <1% on the UNAIDS AIDSinfo database in Somalia (2010) is shown on AHStats as 0.9%.

More information on calculations
The numerator for this indicator is estimated number of women living with HIV who delivered within the past 12 months. For the numerator, the method of measurement from national programme records aggregated from programme monitoring tools, such as patient registries and summary reporting forms.
The denominator for this indicator is the number of pregnant women living with HIV who delivered during the past 12 months and received antiretroviral medicines to reduce the risk of the mother-to-child transmission of HIV. Global reports summarizing the coverage of antiretroviral medicine for preventing mother-to-child transmission will exclude women who received single-dose nevirapine, since it is considered a suboptimal regimen. However, the country should report the number of women who only received single-dose nevirapine. For the denominator, estimation models such as Spectrum or antenatal clinic surveillance surveys combined with demographic data and appropriate adjustments related to the coverage of antenatal clinic surveys.
