Report, 2012
This report focuses on the needs of children who have contracted HIV from mother-to-child-transmission (MTCT). Care and treatment needs are likely to be similar between individuals infected through MTCT and behaviourally infected individuals; however, behaviours, adherence rates, and outcomes may be different due to lifestyle, upbringing, and age of infection. This literature review seeks to address the need for this information by providing an overview of the diagnosis, treatment, care, and support needs of infants through early childhood (birth to age 6). The audience for this report includes health professionals, caregivers, and other adults who may come into contact with children infected with HIV.

Messages for Parents: Five to Eight Years
Information Card, Revised 2024
Parents are the first and primary sexual health educators of children. This resource provides information to help parents and caregivers promote their child’s healthy sexual development. Early introduction of sexual health topics increases the confidence and comfort of both caregivers and the child to talk about sexual health in later years. As children grow, it is important for caregivers to reinforce health messages and expand on sexual health topics.
Messages for Parents are also available for other age groups:

Substance Use, Pregnancy, and HIV/AIDS: Treatment Programs for Pregnant Women
Report, 2012
This living document identifies existing substance use treatment programs and services available to pregnant women and pregnant women living with HIV/AIDS in North America, with a particular focus on Saskatchewan. The information provided through the current environmental scan is useful both for pregnant women who use substances who are seeking services, and for healthcare professionals, who can use this information to assist women in accessing services that are appropriate to their needs. Ideally, this would be done as part of a multidisciplinary team, where the referring professional continues to be involved in the care of the woman. It is hoped that the information provided will increase awareness of the existing substance use treatment centres and programs for pregnant women, with the goal of potentially increasing referrals to and use of these programs.
