Table 3 Tested and did not receive results until after delivery

From: Missed opportunities for participation in prevention of mother to child transmission programmes: Simplicity of nevirapine does not necessarily lead to optimal uptake, a qualitative study

Health Systems reasons:

'She says she comes close to stay at the hospital since it was her first time to get a baby but the nurses took blood from her at the last moment and not even having time to tell her good or bad things about testing and the worst thing is that she was not given NVP yet she was here for almost a month and she was treated like someone who was not attending ANC who just came in on labour at the last moment. Yet nurses are preaching that people should attend ANC so that they don't miss opportunities to know about how to be the mother for the first time and she feels it was very bad for her to realise that she was supposed to get NVP.
