Key Points Question Is funding by the US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief for prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV associated with improvements in key prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV–related health outcomes in Kenya? Findings Using publicly available data sources, this population-based survey study found evidence that a $0.33 increase in the annual levels of President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief funding for prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV per capita was associated with a significant 14% to 16% reduction in infant mortality in Kenya between 2004 and 2014. Meaning Identifying specific HIV prevention approaches, such as prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV, that are associated with improvements in health outcomes may help policy makers allocate funds to evidence-based approaches that are most likely to be effective.
