Women’s Initiatives (WIN)—New

The Health Resources and Services

Administration’s Maternal and Child

Health Bureau proposes to collect

information about HIV-related services

provided to women of child-bearing age

and their children. Information will be

collected annually from eight sites

funded by HRSA under cooperative

agreements and their 320 local service

providers that are funded under

Sections 2618(a) and 2671 of the Public

Health Service Act. The eight funded

sites will collect the information by

telephone from their providers, and

forward the data collection forms to a

HRSA contractor. There are no plans to

collect or transmit the data

electronically.

The purpose is to document current

care system characteristics and facilitate

planning for services to women with

HIV and their children. The information

will be used within and outside HRSA

to inform the administration and

Congress about HIV counseling and

testing services for pregnant women,

services and referral resources for

pregnant women with HIV,

antiretroviral therapies, and outreach

related to perinatal HIV transmission

reduction. Annual burden estimates are
