The TRIple Elimination Model Of Mother-to-child Transmission Program (TRI-MOM)

An interventional study of TRI-MOM intervention in Hiv, Syphilis and HBV, sponsored by Institut de Recherche pour le Developpement. Recruiting at 2 sites in 2 countries. Open to female participants, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-06-20.

Primary conditionSyphilisRegistry: Acquired Immunodeficiency SyndromeReclassifiedWhy we changed it
Registry
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome — the first condition term the registry derived for this study.
ClinicalTrials.gg
Syphilis
Why
  1. The registry often attaches Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome to studies about something else, and this study's title and listed conditions do not name it.
  2. The study's listed conditions name Syphilis.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own listed conditions. Of 351 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 68% were exactly right and 84% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 5% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Study summary

The TRI-MOM program aims to implement and evaluate a simplified (based on inexpensive rapid diagnostic tests), integrated (in governmental health facilities) and coordinated (between health care workers) strategy for the triple elimination of HIV, syphilis and HBV mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) in nine maternal and child health services, 5 in Burkina Faso and 5 in The Gambia.

The TRI-MOM program has two components:

  1. an "intervention" component consisting of a pilot study to reinforce the antenatal screening and prevention of MTCT (PMTCT) capacities for the 3 targeted infections through the implementation of a simplified, integrated and coordinated strategy of triple elimination of MTCT.
  2. an "evaluation" component which will assess the impact of the TRI-MOM strategy on PMTCT services, reduction of HBV MTCT and women empowerment.

The TRI-MOM (TRIple elimination Model Of Mother-to-child transmission of HIV/Syphilis and HBV in Burkina Faso and The Gambia) program aims to implement and evaluate a simplified (based on inexpensive rapid diagnostic tests), integrated (in governmental health facilities) and coordinated (between health care workers) strategy for the triple elimination of HIV, syphilis and HBV MTCT in nine maternal and child health services, 5 in Burkina Faso and 5 in The Gambia. In The Gambia, the program will be conducted in collaboration with the national HIV, sexually transmitted infections (STI) and hepatitis programmes.

The TRI-MOM program has two components:

  1. an "intervention" component consisting of a pilot study to reinforce the antenatal screening and PMTCT capacities for the 3 targeted infections through the implementation of a simplified, integrated and coordinated strategy of triple elimination of MTCT. This pilot study will be conducted in 9 selected maternities.
  2. an "evaluation" component which will assess the impact of the TRI-MOM strategy on PMTCT services, reduction of HBV MTCT and women empowerment.

Intervention component :

The TRI-MOM strategy includes 4 main activities:

  1. Training of healthcare professionals in charge of maternal health (nurses, midwives and doctors in charge of maternal health services)
  2. Triple screening of HIV, Syphilis and HBV by rapid diagnostic tests
  3. Assessment and treatment of women positive for any of the 3 targeted infections
  4. Raising awareness on MTCT among pregnant women visiting antenatal services and empowering women infected with at least one of the three infections

Evaluation component :

The TRI-MOM program will include three studies :

  1. A quantitative and qualitative cross-sectional study before and after the implementation of the strategy.
  2. A cohort study of pregnant women positive for any of the three infections.
  3. Cost and cost-effectiveness analysis.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Coverage of the strategy in the study maternities before its implementation

    Proportion of women screened for HIV, Syphilis and HBV during pregnancy

    Time frame: Assessed cross-sectionally using a questionnaire administered to women at baseline (before the implementation of the TRI-MOM strategy)

  2. Coverage of the strategy in the study maternities after its implementation

    Proportion of women screened for HIV, Syphilis and HBV during pregnancy

    Time frame: Assessed cross-sectionally using a questionnaire administered to women at 12 months (after the implementation of the TRI-MOM strategy)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Knowledge of the targeted infections before the strategy implementation

    Proportion of women with a good level of knowledge (defined by a score) of the targeted infections (HIV, syphilis, and HBV) and of PMTCT

    Time frame: Assessed cross-sectionally using a questionnaire administered to women at baseline (before the implementation of the TRI-MOM strategy)

  2. Knowledge of the targeted infections after the strategy implementation

    Proportion of women with a good level of knowledge (defined by a score) of the targeted infections (HIV, syphilis, and HBV) and of PMTCT
