  “That Government provides free HIV testing services and free ARVs for every HIV positive woman in the reproductive age as a strategy to secure an AIDS free generation and also does scale up the accessibility to family planning services throughout the country.”COMMENT: New science also shows that HIV treatment is HIV prevention. 
More ambitious efforts to initiate HIV treatment for pregnant women and women of reproductive age is a strategy that would dramatically reduce incidence of paediatric HIV and infant mortality; save the lives of pregnant mothers; and slash rates of HIV transmission through sex and through pregnancy, delivery and breastfeeding.
Studies also indicate accelerated treatment scale up would most likely be cost saving
due to reductions in incidence. WHAT DO WE THINK?
