DEFINITIONS OF THE INDICATORS Estimated number of HIV-infected pregnant women: Estimated number of pregnant women living with HIV as of 2007. *Reported number of HIV-infected pregnant women who received ARVs for PMTCT: Number of women testing HIV positive during visits to antenatal clinics who were provided with antiretroviral therapy (ARVs) to prevent mother-to-child transmission. Estimated percentage of HIV-infected pregnant women who received ARVs for PMTCT: Calculated by dividing the reported number of HIV-infected pregnant women who received ARVs for PMTCT by the estimated unrounded number of HIV-infected pregnant women in 2007 (based on UNAIDS/WHO methods). Ranges in coverage estimates are based on plausibility (uncertainty) bounds in the denominator, i.e., low and high estimated number of HIV-infected pregnant women. The point estimates and ranges are given for countries with a generalized epidemic, whereas only ranges are given for countries with a low or concentrated epidemic. For further information, see Annex 4 of the Universal Access Report for the classification of low- and middle-income countries. MAIN DATA SOURCES* Estimated number of HIV-infected pregnant women: WHO, UNICEF and UNAIDS, Towards Universal Access: Scaling up priority HIV/AIDS interventions in the health sector, Geneva, 2008. *Reported number of HIV-infected pregnant women who received ARVs for PMTCT: WHO, UNICEF and UNAIDS, Towards Universal Access: Scaling up priority HIV/AIDS interventions in the health sector, Geneva, 2008. Estimated percentage of HIV-infected pregnant women who received ARVs for PMTCT: WHO, UNICEF and UNAIDS, Towards Universal Access: Scaling up priority HIV/AIDS interventions in the health sector, Geneva, 2008. NOTES* – Data not available. ** United Nations General Assembly Special Session on HIV/AIDS (2001) indicator. # Most countries have reported data for a full 12-month period in 2006 or 2007. For the countries with data reported for a period of less than 12 months in 2007, the values are projected to a 12-month period, based on the monthly value (see footnote c). Fifteen countries reported data for 2006. They reflect a 12-month period and the values are therefore not projected. a Reporting period is from January-December 2006. b Data were reported from January 2007, but not for the full year to December. The projection to a 12-month period is based on the monthly value (see the table below for the reported values). c From 271 programme counties, January 2007-September 2007.
