Stop CMV Mission and Vision

The mission of Stop CMV and The CMV Action Network is to prevent and eliminate congenital CMV and to improve the lives of all people affected by congenital CMV.

We envision a world in which babies no longer are born with congenital CMV. Children and adults living with congenital CMV thrive in a barrier-free world that offers ready access to an array of effective treatment options, medical care, and community support. Their individual life choices and opportunities are not influenced by congenital CMV and all experience rich and personally fulfilling lives.

About Stop CMV

Since 2003, Stop CMV has been working to foster congenital CMV awareness via internet and public awareness campaigns.

The CMV Action Network is comprised of families, friends and medical professionals personally affected by CMV and committed to public education efforts to prevent future cases of the virus. We realize that the incidence of children born with congenital CMV can be greatly reduced with grassroots public education and awareness.

Additionally, we hope that women, families and friends will become familiar with the CMV virus and will take vigilant steps to prevent infection. We believe that it is better for women and their families to learn about CMV well prior to pregnancy in order to be well informed and take preventative actions.
