Antenatal Care - Testing and Counseling
Gap
Further interventions are needed to reduce barriers to HIV testing. Studies found that fear of partner notification, risk of domestic violence, the unreliability of rapid HIV tests, test availability, long waiting times at the clinic, costs for transport, lack of childcare and the need for partner consent were barriers to HIV testing. The impact of rapid testing during labor and delivery for HIV-positive women has yet to be assessed and HIV test results were not provided prior to delivery.
Antenatal Care - Testing and Counseling
1 study
Additional efforts are needed to improve information and counseling about HIV during ANC to ensure that pregnant women and their sexual partners have adequate information. Studies found significant numbers of pregnant women received HIV tests with no counseling and reported that HIV testing was a mandatory part of their antenatal care. Studies also found that HIV-positive women feared transmitting HIV to their babies through casual contact. Studies found some providers assured women that treatment guaranteed that there would be no vertical transmission. In addition, studies found that some couples erroneously believed that sex during pregnancy causes miscarriages. Studies have also found that women who have tested HIV-negative at their first antenatal visit had seroconverted to HIV-positive by 12 months following delivery.
