Integrated Antenatal Screening for HIV, Syphilis, and Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) in Pregnant Women in Burkina Faso and The Gambia
The TRI-MOM program aims to implement and evaluate a simplified (based on inexpensive rapid diagnostic tests), integrated (in governmental health facilities) and coordinated (between health care workers) strategy for the triple elimination of HIV, syphilis and HBV mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) in nine maternal and child health services, 5 in Burkina Faso and 5 in The Gambia. The TRI-MOM program has two components: 1. an intervention component consisting of a pilot study to reinforce the antenatal screening and prevention of MTCT (PMTCT) capacities for the 3 targeted infections through the implementation of a simplified, integrated and coordinated strategy of triple elimination of MTCT. 2. an evaluation component which will assess the impact of the TRI-MOM strategy on PMTCT services, reduction of HBV MTCT and women empowerment.
