The virtual elimination of mother‐to‐child transmission of HIV cannot be achieved without complete maternal HIV testing. The World Health Organization recommends that women in high HIV prevalent settings repeat HIV testing in the third trimester, and at delivery or directly thereafter. The Western Cape Province (South Africa) prevention of mother‐to‐child transmission (PMTCT) guidelines recommend a repeat maternal HIV test between 32 and 34 weeks gestation and at delivery in addition to testing at the first antenatal visit (ideally <20 weeks gestation). There are few published longitudinal studies on the uptake of initial and repeated maternal HIV testing programmes in sub‐Saharan Africa. We aimed to investigate the implementation of initial and repeat maternal HIV testing guidelines in Cape Town, South Africa.

对孕产妇 HIV 检测完整性的纵向分析，包括在南非开普敦的重复检测

如果没有完整的孕产妇 HIV 检测，就无法真正消除 HIV 的母婴传播。世界卫生组织建议艾滋病毒高发地区的妇女在妊娠晚期、分娩时或分娩后立即重复进行艾滋病毒检测。西开普省（南非）预防母婴传播 (PMTCT) 指南建议，除了在第一次产前检查（理想情况下小于 20 周时）进行检测外，在妊娠 32 至 34 周和分娩时重复进行母亲 HIV 检测）。关于撒哈拉以南非洲初始和重复孕产妇 HIV 检测项目的已发表纵向研究很少。我们旨在调查南非开普敦的初始和重复孕产妇 HIV 检测指南的实施情况。
