  Purpose

Although gains have been made in achieving the health-related Millennium Development Goals (MDG), much is still needed in countries affected by high levels of HIV/AIDS. Prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) is a cornerstone strategy in reducing infant mortality from HIV. The study will employ a cluster randomized control trial (cRCT) with 26 health facilities randomized to two arms (intervention or control) to determine the effect of mobile phone technology on completion of key PMTCT milestones from antenatal to six weeks postpartum. The study will examine the acceptability, effectiveness, and cost of implementing a PMTCT-focused mHealth strategy among HIV-infected pregnant women, health workers, and male partners.

Further study details as provided by Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • The proportion of women who successfully complete key PMTCT transition points from antenatal to six weeks postpartum. [ Time Frame: ~ 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Initiation of Infant prophylaxis, Facility delivery and receipt of results of 6 weeks early infant diagnosis by DNA PCR [ Time Frame: ~ 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Uptake ARV prophylaxis/ART during labor, delivery, and postpartum [ Time Frame: ~ 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Self-reported maternal adherence to ARV prophylaxis/ART during pregnancy [ Time Frame: ~ 4 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Time to initiation of ARV prophylaxis/ART uptake after initial identification of HIV seropositivity within ANC [ Time Frame: ~ 1 month ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 600
Study Start Date: May 2011
Estimated Study Completion Date: April 2014
Estimated Primary Completion Date: April 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Groups/Cohorts Assigned Interventions
Control Behavioral: Control
Health facilities where PMTCT services are available in the traditional clinical setting with HIV testing and counseling, PMTCT support, and enrollment in care and treatment.
Intervention Behavioral: Intervention
In addition to the 'Standard of Care', HIV-infected pregnant women and male partners within the PMTCT program are engaged in multi-directional mobile communication for PMTCT promotion with health care providers.
