Mother-to-child transmission of HIV: An 11-year experience in a single center and HIV prevention effectiveness in Taiwan

ConclusionSuccessful implementation of available perinatal HIV intervention dramatically reduced vertical transmission rate of HIV. MTCT rate was 0% in NTUH after the program. However, as NTUH is an HIV referral center, additional efforts are needed to achieve the World Health Organization criteria of lowering the vertical transmission rate of HIV to <2% in Taiwan.
