Abstract

Increased number of women affected by HIV will have an impact on HIV transmission from mother to baby.Therefore, early detection as one of the activities to prevent HIV transmission from mother to child (PMCTC)becomes the leading program in preventing HIV and AIDS epidemic in women. This study aimed to apply the model of early detection of HIV in pregnant women by midwives in the community. This was an operational study, which was done in improving access to prevention of HIV transmission from Mother to Child. The study was conducted in 17 sub-district health centers, selected by cluster random sampling. Early detection was done by conducting HIV tests on 385 pregnant women and their partners in the community (Posyandu and family midwife). HIV tests were performed using rapid test by trained midwives who received trust fro the Health Office for performing the test. The results showed that a total of 18 midwives of 17 sub-districts had received training on PMCTC and HIV test with rapid test. A total of 85.5% of pregnant women were willing to have HIV tests and the results came out negative. HIV test by midwives was able to overcome the barriers of distance and stigma that improve PMCTC access. Support from the Health Office to sustain the program is needed and the implementation of HIV testing for pregnant women should be developed into SOP, for the prevention of HIV transmission from mother to baby can only be done if the status of HIV in pregnant women is unknown
