Objectives
Main Objectives
Secondary Objectives
- Secondary Objective 1: Develop and implement an information system that will link mothers and children and track them throughout the continuum of care
- Secondary Objective 2: Identify children exposed to HIV at birth, promote early screening at 6 weeks, and provide HIV-infected mothers with a second opportunity to enter care;
- Secondary Objective 3: Identify mothers infected with HBV, assess their eligibility for anti-HBV treatment, refer them to appropriate care, and offer the vaccine on Day 0 to exposed children
- Secondary Objective 4: Evaluate the clinical and economic impact, as well as the cost-effectiveness, of these interventions in Abidjan.
Description & Context
Software to improve the monitoring of mother-child pairs infected with HIV or HBV: in the delivery room, HIV screening is offered to all women in labor with unknown status; HBV screening is routinely offered, and vaccinated children at Day 0. Maternal HBV screening and Day 0 vaccination against hepatitis B in the delivery room are well accepted and feasible.
