Thanks Anne for sharing the websites on VISP, this is going to help us very much.
You have mentioned inappropriate treatment for HIV as one of the potential harms from VISP I envision this scenario happening in PMTCT because the current practise is that, upon obtaining rapid HIV results expectant mothers are commenced on ART , the CD4 count level is not considered. The team must plan for adequeate stakeholder engagement involving health workers especially the MCH staff.
