HIV and Infant Feeding Counselling : A Training Course - Overhead Figures

Approximately 800,000 children under 15 years of age are newly infected with HIV every year.

Mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV accounts for approximately 90 per cent of these infections.

Up to 20 per cent of infants born to HIV-infected mothers may acquire HIV through breastfeeding.

There is a need for infant feeding counsellors. In response to this need, this training course has been developed by The World Health Organization, the United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS and UNICEF.

It consists of 16 training sessions using a variety of teaching methods. This flipchart, with overhead transparencies, is intended for use by trainers and course directors.

Many sessions require the presentation and discussion of overhead transparencies.

The figures for the overhead transparencies are available if no overhead projector is available.
