摘要: Mother-to-child-transmission of HIV syphilis and hepatitis B virus (HBV) remains a challenge in Guatemala especially rural regions. A triple antenatal screening program for these infections using point-of-care (POC) testing offered through outreach teams was implemented the municipality Puerto de San Jose. One year following implementation care coverage increased to 99.6% (32.5% increase P < 0.001) uptake 50.3% (143.9% (P 1.3% = 0.89) respectively) HBV from 0 42.2%. Lessons learned showed that despite expansion POC shortage healthcare workers poor supply chain management limited uptake. Moreover training is essential help health overcome their fear communicating positive results improve partner notification. Engagement community build local capacity facilitate acceptance.
