Summary

The goal of this proposed intervention study is to increase the proportion of HIV positive and HIV negative pregnant women who deliver in a facility, the proportion of HIV exposed infants (HEI) who receive nevirapine (NVP) within 48 hours of delivery, and the proportion of HEI who are bled for HIV polymerase chain reaction (PCR) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) testing within 8 weeks of age.

Detailed description

Following a formative phase I, we propose in phase II to implement a three-group cluster-randomized study to test the effectiveness of short message service (SMS) reminders and notifications, \[mobile health or mhealth\] (group 1) and the combined effectiveness of SMS reminders/notifications and cash transfers (group 2) compared to the standard prevention of mother-to-child transmission (of HIV)/maternal, neonatal and child health, (PMTCT/MNCH) practices (group 3).
