367 In terms of response, the government and its partners welcome and support the actions of CSOs such as the NGO PIED which works for the moral and school rehabilitation of talibés in Djougou, Parakou and Malanville. The Minister of the Family maintains the contact with Imams and other koranic masters for a better supervision of children in the formal education system. 368 The child code contains interesting provisions on this point allowing to strengthen the existing legislative framework, and the new child protection policy addresses all the practices as vulnerability factors to be eliminated for the full fulfilment of the child. Still about the new child code, the provisions, other than those already quoted are as follows: prohibition and sanction of harmful traditional practices (art.184, 376 à 377), genital mutilations (art.185 to 188). 369 f. 370 Children from minority groups: All the children whatever their social condition, including children with disabilities, children living in poverty, children born out of wedlock, asylum-seeking children and children belonging to indigenous and/or minority groups have all the right to the same legal protection, against all forms of violation of their physical integrity, and can benefit from assistance without discrimination. g. The right of children to health in the face of the HIV pandemic : 371 According to estimates, there were 4,786 HIV positive children in 2010. But in reality, one cannot dissociate the analysis of HIV among the child with the one of its parents, i.e the mother. In 2012, an increase of the HIV/AIDS prevalence rate was noted from 1.7 in 2011 to 1.9 in 2012 from sentinel sites in the whole country. The situation in some departments remains a source of concern, such as Littoral (3.1%), Couffo (2.9%) and Ouémé (2.5%). 372 Awareness measures are increased and knowledge, aptitudes and practices in front of HIV/AIDS are improving. 373 Studies also reveal, the percentage of people exposed to sexual risks is higher among boys than girls. As regards Prevention of Mother To Child Transmission (thanks to prenatal consultation), 49% of maternities in 2010 offer Prevention of Mother To Child Transmission (PMCT). 374 375 Until end of 2009, early diagnosis difficulties did not promote assistance to children born with HIV positive parents. Indeed, screening was performed with rapid tests and confirmation of the serological status of the child was only possible at the age of 18 months. Yet, generally, more than 30% of infected children - if they are not under ARV-die before the age of 12 months and 50% before 2 years. 376 So, many children die before the confirmation of their serological status and the start of the ARV treatment. 377 In this regard, the State has provided the resources for the experimentation of the early diagnostic of children born from HIV positive mothers, through ABBOTT qualitative PCR method (polymerase chain reaction). This experimentation started in 30 pilot PMCT sites in November 2009. The country has since end of 2009 5 PCR (2 in Cotonou, 1 in Porto Novo, 1 à=in Abomey and 1 in Parakou).
