As rapid diagnostic tests become available, it is important to evaluate prenatal sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevalence, as well as the acceptability and feasibility of prenatal screening programs. We recruited 371 pregnant women from four clinics in Kisantu Health Zone, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) from October 2016 to March 2017. Trained clinicians collected cervical swabs, and samples were tested by nucleic acid amplification for CT, NG, and TV using a GeneXpert\u00ae system. Those testing positive for an STI were treated and asked to return after 4\u20138\u2009weeks for tests-of-cure. Screening for STIs was widely accepted (99%). STI prevalence at baseline was CT, 3.2%; NG, 1.5%; and TV, 14%; treatment completion was 97%. Symptoms were reported among 34% of STI-positive women at baseline, compared with 37% of STI-negative women. Upon first test-of-cure, 100% of returning women were cured of CT ( n\u2009=\u200910) and NG ( n\u2009=\u20095), but only 47% were cured of TV. This study demonstrates the feasibility of implementing diagnostic STI testing for case detection and treatment among expectant mothers in DRC, with implications for maternal and birth outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0956462419888315","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,30]],"date-time":"2020-01-30T00:34:24Z","timestamp":1580344464000},"page":"221-229","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Prenatal
