San Diego County

San Diego county's intervention plan includes two components, provider education and case management.

The provider education intervention consists of a training, given by county staff, on the legal responsibility to offer an HIV test to pregnant women, recommendations for HIV VCT, an update on therapy to prevent vertical transmission, and local perinatal HIV data. The training is being offered to all perinatal providers in the county.

The case management intervention involves compensating existing case management programs for gathering data on pregnant women and referring them to counseling and testing programs. The program is especially aimed at pregnant teens and women in treatment for substance abuse problems.
