Proposed Project Fetal-Infant Mortality Review— Human Immunodeficiency Virus Prevention Methodology (FHPM)— New—National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, and Tuberculosis Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description NCHHSTP has the primary responsibility within the CDC and the U.S. Public Health Service for the prevention and control of HIV infection, viral hepatitis, sexually transmitted diseases, and tuberculosis, as well as for community-based HIV prevention activities, syphilis, and tuberculosis elimination programs. Remarkable progress has been made in preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV in recent years, following the introduction of antiretroviral therapy for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission in 1994. The number of infants perinatally infected with HIV has decreased dramatically: from 1,650 cases in 1991 to approximately 240–247 cases in 2005. Despite advances in interventions for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1, including antiretroviral drugs, elective cesarean delivery, and avoidance of breastfeeding, between 100 and 200 infants are perinatally infected with HIV in the United States each year. Many of these cases result from missed prevention opportunities, such as prenatal HIV testing, prenatal care, or antiretroviral prophylaxis. The Fetal-InfantMortality Review-HIV Prevention Methodology (FHPM) is designed to identify and address missed prevention opportunities at the community level. FHPM was first piloted at 3 sites, which developed the data collection instruments collaboratively with CityMatCH and CDC; CDC did not dictate the data collection method. FHPM is currently a CDC NCHHSTP funded extramural project at 10 sites, conducted in partnership with the National Fetal and Infant Mortality Review Program, E:\FR\FM\10JAN1.SGM 10JAN1
