https://vimeo.com/69033689
Five breakout groups are presented by participants: Intra- and Postpartum, Pre-conception, Ante and Post, Behavior Change and Measurement. Each group discussed Implementation, Scale-up and Knowledge gaps within each topic. Topics addressed for Intra and Post partum included: differing needs for implementation, follow-up care for infant and mother, further research that is needed and cesarean section safety for women with HIV. Topics addressed for Pre-conception included: serodiscordant couples, disclosure status, safer contraception, abortion and post abortion care, task shifting and screening. Topics addressed for Ante and Post care included: refocusing on scale-up for antenatal care, HR skills, community and differing approaches for countries with lower prevalence rates. Topics addressed for Behavior Change included: evidenced-based scale up program models, stigma training for quality of care and partner work. Topics addressed for Measurement included: feedback and feedback structure, dynamic data collection improvements (such as mHealth), verbal autopsies, use of comparable meta data and sentinel surveys.
