This study aims to assess the feasibility and benefit of universal testing for HIV, HBV and syphilis in antenatal care (ANC) services. A pilot project was conducted in the Thai Nguyen province of Vietnam between 2012 and 2014. HIV, HBV and syphilis testing were offered to pregnant women. Interventions to eliminate mother-to child-transmission (MTCT) of the three pathogens were provided to infected mothers and their infants. Descriptive analysis was conducted, and the number of infections averted from integrating hepatitis B tests into ANC was estimated. Testing coverage for HIV, HBV and syphilis for the cohort of pregnant women during the pilot project was 98%. Prevalence of HIV, HBV and syphilis infections in this cohort was 0.14%, 7.8%, and 0.03%, respectively. No infant was infected with HIV or syphilis, while HBV infection was diagnosed in 27 infants (13.9%). An estimated 23 mother to child HBV infections were prevented by integrated interventions. The triple prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV, HBV and syphilis is feasible. Investment in the expansion of the integrated approach is required to achieve the goal of eliminating MTCT.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0956462420953722","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,22]],"date-time":"2020-12-22T03:23:09Z","timestamp":1608607389000},"page":"135-143","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Feasibility, benefits, and cost-effectiveness of adding universal hepatitis B and syphilis testing to routine antenatal care services in Thai Nguyen province, Vietnam"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"32","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8766-3082","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Van Thi Thuy","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"World Health Organization, Viet Nam Country Office, Hanoi, Viet Nam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ho Thi Quynh","family":"Trang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Thai Nguyen Provincial AIDS Centre, Thai Nguyen, Viet Nam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Naoko","family":"Ishikawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"World Health Organization, Regional Office for the Western Pacific, Manila, Philippines"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lan","family":"Anh Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology, Hanoi, Viet Nam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Le Ai Kim","family":"Anh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Thai Nguyen Provincial AIDS Centre, Thai Nguyen, Viet Nam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Truong Binh","family":"Minh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Thai Nguyen Provincial AIDS Centre, Thai Nguyen, Viet Nam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ying-Ru","family":"Lo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"World Health Organization, Regional Office for the Western Pacific, Manila, Philippines"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Masaya","family":"Kato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"World Health Organization, Viet Nam Country Office, Hanoi, Viet Nam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0956462420953722","volume-title":"Global strategy for women\u2019s, children\u2019s and adolescents\u2019 health (2016\u20132030). every woman every child","author":"World Health Organization.","year":"2015"},{"key":"bibr2-0956462420953722","volume-title":"Global health sector strategy on viral hepatitis, 2016\u20132021 toward ending viral hepatitis","author":"World Health Organization.","year":"2016"},{"key":"bibr3-0956462420953722","volume-title":"Global health sector strategy on HIV 2016\u20132021","author":"World Health Organization","year":"2016"},{"key":"bibr4-0956462420953722","volume-title":"Global health sector strategy on sexually transmitted infections 2016\u20132021","author":"World Health Organization","year":"2016"},{"key":"bibr5-0956462420953722","volume-title":"Regional framework for the triple elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV, hepatitis B and syphilis in Asia and the Pacific, 2018\u20132030","author":"World Health Organization Regional Office for the Western Pacific.","year":"2018"},{"key":"bibr6-0956462420953722","volume-title":"Regional framework for the triple elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV, hepatitis B and syphilis in Asia and the Pacific, 2018\u20132030","author":"WHO Regional Office for the Western Pacific.","year":"2018"},{"key":"bibr7-0956462420953722","unstructured":"World Health Organization Western Pacific Region.\n                      Joint review of the health sector response to HIV in Viet Nam 2014\n                      .
