Voice 1: Many developing countries have already taken steps to provide mother to child transmission prevention services. The country of Botswana is a powerful example. AIDS is a big problem in that country. But officials there have worked hard to provide transmission prevention services. All public clinics that deal with babies offer these services for free. In 2005, about ninety-two percent of women giving birth in hospitals there got tested for HIV. Seventy percent of those who were HIV positive also received drug treatments. These drug treatments helped to reduce the rate of HIV transmission from mother to child. Botswana has successfully reduced the HIV transmission rate from mothers to babies. The rate there is now less than six percent.
