New
National Perinatal HIV Consultation and Referral Service
HRSA/HAB has developed a new 24-hour clinical consultation service, the National
Perinatal HIV Consultation and Referral Service (PerinatalHotline). This service
provides 24-hour advice from HIV experts on indications and interpretations of
HIV testing in pregnancy as well as consultation on treating HIV-infected
pregnant women and their infants.
The Perinatal Hotline not only answers callers' immediate questions and helps
solve urgent perinatal HIV issues, but also assists clinicians in linking
HIV-infected pregnant women and HIV-exposed infants to the mostappropriate care.
Callers are referred to a national network of education, training and
consultation services available from regional AIDS Education and Training
Centers (AETCs). The Perinatal Hotline is an expansion of the HRSA National
HIV/AIDS Clinicians' Consultation Center (NCCC) at San Francisco General
Hospital, which currently operates the National HIV Telephone Consultation
Service (Warmline) and the National Clinicians' Post-Exposure Prophylaxis
Hotline (PEPline).
The NCCC is part of the AETC Program funded by HRSA/HAB in partnership with the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and HAB's Division of Community
Based Programs. The Perinatal Hotline (888-448-8765) and the PEPline
(888-448-4911) are both available 24 hours, seven days per week.
The Warmline (800-933-3413) is available 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. (EST) Monday through
Friday.
