To examine what content and forms of mobile communication are acceptable to support vertical transmission of HIV (VTP) prevention. |
It was concluded that the current use of mobile communications platform for VTP has a significant potential. This pre-intervention evaluation produced valuable information about the complexities of the project and its implementation. An effective platform for PMTCT will need to address contexts of confidentiality, sharing of cell phones and connection with current services. |
