To authorize assistance for mother-to-child HIV/AIDS transmission prevention efforts.

H.R. 684 aims to reduce the transmission of HIV/AIDS from mothers to their children in sub-Saharan Africa and India. The bill directs the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to establish pilot programs that provide voluntary prenatal counseling, testing, and access to preventative medications and infant feeding alternatives. By partnering with research universities and nonprofit organizations, this legislation seeks to implement low-cost medical interventions to improve maternal and infant health outcomes in regions heavily impacted by the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
