The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of curable STIs, correlates of infections and assess the acceptability and feasibility of antenatal STI screening in Hanoi, Vietnam. Methods: A study involving 800 pregnant women visiting Ha Dong Hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam from June 2016 to July 2017, was conducted. Participants provided either a self-collected vaginal swab or urine sample to be screened for Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) and Trichomonas vaginalis (TV). Results: The prevalence of CT, NG and TV was 6.0% (95%CI: 4.5\u20137.9%), 0.13 (95%CI: 0.003\u20130.7%) and 0.8% (95%CI: 0.16\u20132.2%) respectively. CT infection was significantly associated with being &amp;lt;25 years and not being married to last sex partners at the multivariable level. Acceptability and feasibility were high, with 99.5% of eligible women consenting to testing, and 96% of infected women getting treatment. Most women considered STI screening during pregnancy to be important and were willing to notify their sex partners if they were infected. Conclusions: CT was the most common curable STI among pregnant women in Hanoi, Vietnam. Antenatal screening of curable STIs was highly acceptable and feasible in this population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1071\/sh18041","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,10]],"date-time":"2019-02-10T20:48:03Z","timestamp":1549831683000},"page":"133-138","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Acceptability and feasibility of sexually transmissible infection screening among pregnant women in Hanoi, Vietnam"],"prefix":"10.1071","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9487-5654","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Minh","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ADepartment of Epidemiology, Institute of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, Hanoi Medical University, No. 1 Ton That Tung, Dong Da District, Hanoi, Vietnam."},{"name":"BDepartment of Health Behavior, Gillings School of Global Public Health, University of North Carolina, 135 Dauer Drive, Chapel Hill, NC 27599, USA."},{"name":"FCorresponding author.
