Background: Intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) is recommended for malaria prevention in HIV-negative pregnant women, but it is contraindicated in HIV-infected women taking daily cotrimoxazole prophylaxis (CTXp) because of potential added risk of adve...

Background: Opt-out HIV testing is offered at 70% of antenatal care (ANC) clinics in Mozambique through the
prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) program. If routine data from this program were of sufficient
quality, their heightened coverage and continuous availability could complement or e...
