In ANC, less than half of pregnant women eligible for retesting returned for follow-up visits, and test positivity was low among women retested in ANC and CWC. In CWC, linkage to infant testing was poor and almost 20% of HEI were PCR-positive. Implementing retesting for pregnant and breastfeeding women is challenging due to high numbers of women and low testing yield.
