Integrating point-of-care screening for curable sexually transmitted infections with HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B screening in antenatal care services in Zimbabwe: A mixed-methods process evaluation
Introduction Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in pregnancy are associated with adverse birth outcomes. We investigated the uptake and yield of point-of-care screening for Chlamydia trachomatis , Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Trichomonas vaginalis , integrated with HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B virus (HBV) screening in antenatal care (ANC) in Zimbabwe, and conducted a mixed-methods process evaluation of the strategy.
