| Core Tip |
This study shows that a rigorously implemented, standardized national strategy for preventing mother-to-child human immunodeficiency virus transmission can achieve a transmission rate of 0.65% in a real-world Ecuadorian setting. The findings highlight the importance of early maternal diagnosis, consistent antiretroviral therapy, and coordinated maternal-infant follow-up to sustain progress toward national elimination goals. |
