A newborn baby, as yet un-named, is given a dose of the drug AZT,a preventative medicine to reduce the risk of HIV passing to him from his mother, 30 year old mother who is HIV positive. She was enrolled during pregnancy in a programme preventing mother to child transmission of HIV that offered her medicines, counselling and advice and ensures the baby is given a drop of the anti retroviral drug, nevirapine to prevent transmission of HIV within eight hours of birth. After that the drug AZT is given every 12 hours for 12 days, as part of enhanced PMTCT services.

UNICEF is supporting the government to provide these programmes across the country and wants to continue to roll out the services to all women in Lesotho.
