This grant supports the Ministry of Health (MOH) in the Dominican Republic, aiming to enhance prenatal HIV counseling and testing for male partners of pregnant women. The program seeks to significantly boost male participation in Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) services by implementing a couples counseling and testing initiative. This will occur in eight hospitals with existing CDC-GAP funded PMTCT interventions. The purpose is to strengthen the national health system under PEPFAR, ultimately reducing vertical HIV transmission. An experienced NGO specializing in Gender and HIV/AIDS will collaborate with the MOH to deliver this program.
