24/7 Illinois Perinatal HIV Hotline

The 24/7 Illinois Perinatal HIV Hotline was established in 2003 to provide clinical and social service providers with access to immediate medical and social service consultation for the care of pregnant women living with HIV, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Hotline is housed at Prentice Women’s Hospital of Northwestern Memorial Hospital and is funded by the Illinois Department of Public Health.

Population(s) Served
People with HIV/AIDS

1 in 4 babies born to moms living with HIV can get HIV during pregnancy, childbirth, or through breastfeeding. That risk can be reduced to less than 1% if the mom is screened and treated optimally before delivery.

Many women do not know their HIV status before they get pregnant. An early screen is important because it gives care providers more time to provide optimal treatment. The third trimester screen is important because it is possible to contract HIV during pregnancy.

MACA leadership, volunteers, partners, and supportive legislators helped to develop an important part of the HIV prevention safety net by passing the Illinois Perinatal HIV Prevention Act to ensure good process around pregnancy to help prevent illness.

Population(s) Served
People with HIV/AIDS

Case managers help prepare women for a healthy pregnancy, healthy birth, healthy baby, and a healthy life.

MACA provides a specialized case management program designed for women who need extra support during their pregnancies for managing HIV. We are in process of expanding our program for preventing congenital syphilis.

Coordinated services funded primarily by the Illinois Department of Public Health ensure our moms get the help and support they need to ensure a healthy birth and receive postpartum care for disease-specific interventions.

Population(s) Served
People with HIV/AIDS

Prenatal classes offered with a unique focus on HIV in pregnancy. Proven to help support pregnant women better prepare for a healthy delivery and newborn care.

Classes are open to the community by referral to ensure confidentiality.

Generally delivered in 3 sessions of up to 4 hours each. Partners and close family members are welcome so all can learn together about HIV, pregnancy, and parenthood.

Conducted throughout the year as needed with class sizes ranging from 3 to 10 women plus families and support staff.

Population(s) Served
