Contact Investigation in the Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV Comparing Urban and Rural Outcomes in Jamaica

Issue: 
Vol 57, Issue 3 (2008) - Special Issue on Paediatric and Perinatal HIV/AIDS in Jamaica
Pages: 
282–6

ABSTRACT

Background and Purpose: The contact investigators played a significant role in the decline of infectious syphilis in Jamaica and are likely important players in the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) in the HIV programme. A brief evaluation was done comparing the outcomes of contact investigation in Kingston and St Andrew (KSA) with that of the contact investigation in two rural parishes.

Issue: 
Vol 62, Issue 1: Jan (2013)
DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2012.174
Pages: 
56–61
Synopsis: 
Intravaginal cleansing is associated with poor health outcomes. Based on female sexually transmitted infection clinic patients in Jamaica, this study found that intravaginal cleansing was common, performed to promote general hygiene, and positively associated with having more than one sexual partner.

ABSTRACT


Objectives: Although common worldwide, intravaginal cleansing is associated with poor health outcomes. We sought to describe intravaginal cleansing among women attending a sexually transmitted infection (STI) clinic in Jamaica.
