The AIDS Epidemiology Group (AEG) has been contracted by the National Screening Unit (NSU) to provide monitoring and evaluation of some aspects of the Universal Offer Antenatal HIV Screening Programme, and to issue quarterly reports. The monitoring undertaken is based on AEG’s March 2006 Monitoring and Evaluation Plan, as approved by the NSU.  The monitoring follows the screening pathway, from the offer of HIV testing to the resulting health outcomes. The initial focus is on process, especially uptake of HIV testing and the occurrence of non-negative results.
