Description: Cook County Hospital HIV Primary Care Center, Women and Children's HIV Program will develop the MCH/HIV Integration Project. This purpose of the project is to insure HIV education, counseling and testing by consent in all family planning and perinatal sites in Cook County. Additionally, the Project will link the MCH service delivery sites and the Ryan White funded primary care agencies to guarantee on-going care for identified women living with HIV and their families. The project has also received additional funding through the MCHB to follow HIV-positive pregnant women and their infants. The evaluation will assess the change in practice of MCH providers in providing HIV education counseling and testing by consent as a routine part of MCH care and the offering of zidovudine to pregnant women.
