Abstract

Pregnant women are one of the population at risk of contracting HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis, Syphilis. More than 90% of children are infected with HIV, Syphilis and Hepatitis B from their mothers. The risk of mother-to-child transmission for HIV/AIDS is 20%-45%, for syphilis it is 69-80%, and for hepatitis B it is more than 90% (Ministry of Health, 2017). Infection, syphilis and hepatitis B have the same transmission route, namely through sexual, blood and vertical transmission from mother to child. Infectious diseases such as HIV infection, hepatitis B and syphilis that can be transmitted from mother to fetus through pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding, and can cause illness, disability, and death, thus adversely affecting the survival and quality of life of children. However, this can be prevented by simple and effective interventions in the form of early detection (screening) during antenatal care services during a pandemic, namely a minimum of 6 times during pregnancy and services with 10 T and one of the supporting examinations carried out is hemoglobin and triple elimination. Elimination of examinations on every pregnant woman for HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B and Syphilis which is a form of state responsibility for this problem with the aim of reducing the number of new infections in newborns so that the eyes of transmission from mother to child are cut off. The type of research used is a cross sectional study. This research was a cross sectional analytical survey research. The sample in this study amounted to 35.
