WHO Certifies Bahamas as 12th Country in the Americas to Eliminate Mother-to-Child HIV Transmission
The World Health Organization on April 22 certified the Bahamas for eliminating mother-to-child transmission of HIV, making it the third Caribbean nation — after Cuba and Brazil — and the 12th country or territory in the Americas to meet the thresholds: a transmission rate below 2%, fewer than 5 pediatric infections per 1,000 live births, and 95%-plus coverage for antenatal care, HIV testing, and treatment.
