APHCV Services
In order to offer the best care for you and your baby, we provide the following services:
California Prenatal Screening Program
The California Prenatal Screening Program test is a two-step blood test that can tell the provider whether you are at increased risk for having a baby with certain birth defects. Your first blood test is done between 10 weeks, 0 days and 13 weeks, 6 days of pregnancy. Between 15 and 20 weeks of pregnancy, the second blood test will be done. The final result will be based on combining the two tests. It is your choice to have the test or not, but we will provide additional information prior to testing and answer any questions you might have.
HIV Testing
HIV is the virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) and is transmitted through sexual intercourse, sharing needles, and from a pregnant woman to her fetus during pregnancy and delivery. In California, the HIV test is recommended for all pregnant women, drug treatment during pregnancy can prevent the baby from getting HIV infection. It is always a safe precaution to get tested while pregnant, however, it is your choice to have the test or not. We will provide additional information prior to testing and answer any questions you might have.
Health Insurance Enrollment
At APHCV, we have Enrollment Workers who can assist you with finding an affordable health care plan to cover the cost of health care for you and your newborn baby. Even if you do not have legal residency status, you may still qualify for limited emergency Medi-Cal coverage. Emergency Medi-Cal can cover your pregnancy-related medical costs and some emergency services. Ask to speak to an Enrollment Worker and see what your health care coverage options are.
Women, Infants and Children (WIC)
WIC provides vouchers for food and groceries for pregnant women who are breastfeeding, and children up to 5 years of age. It is important to have good nutrition during pregnancy and after delivery. We can help you determine if you are eligible and assist you with completing your application.
