This discussion paper is intended to encourage dialogue and generate feedback from PMTCT and Safe Motherhood (SM) program planners and implementers who share the responsibility for shaping interventions to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV, and to improve maternal and newborn survival through conventional safe motherhood interventions. The paper reviews research results and field experience from a behavior change perspective, to see what can be applied to develop and strengthen the essential behavior change component of PMTCT programs. It briefly discusses some of the operational challenges faced by PMTCT programs documented in the literature, and how a behavior change approach could help to address them.
