Prevención de la transmisión materno-infantil del VIH en gestantes y madres awajún y wampis de la región Amazonas en Perú

Abstract

PMTCT measures challenge the customs, values, and beliefs of pregnant women and mothers in the Awajún and Wampis indigenous communities, and thus these measures are not understood or accepted, jeopardizing the relationship of the mothers with health personnel. Therefore, cultural factors and interventions appropriate to this population must be better understood.
