In this study, a mathematical model of HIV/AIDS mother to child transmission
to analyze the effectiveness of prevention of HIV mother to child transmission
programmes has been presented. The result reveals that prevention of HIV
mother to child transmission programmes focusing only on biological
transmission cannot control the increase of the HIV mother to child
transmission in India. Hence, to control the HIV MTCT epidemic in India, in
spite of strengthening the PMTCT programmes to reduce transmission rates,
effective measures should be taken to prevent HIV infection in women of
reproductive ages. Since the overall HIV MTCT epidemic is dependent on the
HIV incidence in women of reproductive age group, the integration of pediatric
HIV model with a detailed model of adult HIV would be investigated in future
studies in order to model these dynamics more accurately
