	Abstract

Even in countries with well-developed programs for prevention of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV, there remains a low level of ongoing transmission. Pregnant, HIV-infected women may not always access screening and available interventions because of circumstances, beliefs, and other influences. Missed opportunities for the prevention of MTCT remains an issue to be addressed. Through a review of HIV-infected children born during the years of antenatal screening in Ireland, we sought to identify further targets for intervention to further reduce MTCT.
