We aimed to assess the acceptability and feasibility of screening and the prevalence of STIs among pregnant women in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Pregnant women of at least 18 years of age who attend Haitian Study Group for Kaposi\u2019s sarcoma and Opportunistic Infections (GHESKIO) clinics in Port-au-Prince, Haiti provided self-collected vaginal swab specimens. Laboratory testing was done with Xpert\u00ae CT\/NG and Xpert\u00ae TV. The results of this study showed that of the 322 pregnant women who visited GHESKIO for their regular scheduled appointments, 300 (93.2%) consented for CT, NG, and TV testing. Of those, 107 women (35.7%) tested positive for at least one STI. There were 42 (14.7%) cases of CT, 8 (2.8%) NG, and 83 (29.0%) TV infections. Most infections were treated \u2013 122 of 133 (91.7%). In summary, we found that it was highly acceptable and feasible to implement CT, NG, and TV screening among pregnant women in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. We found high prevalence of STIs among pregnant women, which suggest that STI screening in this population may be warranted.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0956462416689755","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,30]],"date-time":"2017-01-30T02:22:45Z","timestamp":1485742965000},"page":"1130-1134","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["<i>Chlamydia trachomatis<\/i>\n                    ,\n                    <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae<\/i>\n                    , and\n                    <i>Trichomonas vaginalis<\/i>\n                    screening and treatment of pregnant women in Port-au-Prince, Haiti"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Claire C","family":"Bristow","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Global Public Health, Department of Medicine, University of California San Diego, La Jolla, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patricia","family":"Mathelier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, University of California Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Oksana","family":"Ocheretina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Weill Cornell Medical College, NY, USA"},{"name":"Les Centres GHESKIO, Port-au-Prince, Haiti"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daphne","family":"Benoit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Les Centres GHESKIO, Port-au-Prince, Haiti"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean W","family":"Pape","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Weill Cornell Medical College, NY, USA"},{"name":"Les Centres GHESKIO, Port-au-Prince, Haiti"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adriane","family":"Wynn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Policy, Fielding School of Public Health, University of California Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeffrey D","family":"Klausner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, University of California Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, USA"},{"name":"Department of Health Policy, Fielding School of Public Health, University of California Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0956462416689755","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0143304"},{"key":"bibr2-0956462416689755","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Garrett NJ, McGrath N and Mindel A.
