This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is comparing three different ways to screen pregnant women for sexually transmitted infections (STIs like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis) during routine antenatal care in Kenya. The study wants to see which approach—symptom-based screening alone, universal testing for all pregnant women, or testing only those without symptoms—leads to the best outcomes for both mothers and babies.
Untreated sexually transmitted infections during pregnancy can cause serious complications like miscarriage, premature birth, low birth weight, and newborn health problems. This trial is trying to find the most effective and practical way to identify and treat these infections early to protect mother and baby health.

You will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: standard symptom-based screening, universal infection testing regardless of symptoms, or testing only if you have no symptoms. You'll receive regular antenatal care visits and be followed through 9 months after delivery. All participants get tested for HIV and syphilis, and anyone found to have an infection will receive immediate treatment according to Kenyan health guidelines.
