DESCRIPTION:Objectives: Despite the availability of a wide range of prevent
 ive measures against HIV\, Hepatitis B\, and syphilis\, the prevalence and 
 incidence of these infections remain high in Sub-Saharan Africa\, especiall
 y in West Africa. Mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) remains one of the ma
 jor causes of new infections. Increasing pregnant women's willingness to ac
 cept triple screening of these infections during their pregnancy and\, if e
 ligible\, to undergo treatment requires a better understanding of their pre
 ferences regarding MTCT risk diagnosis. Method: We conducted a Discrete Ch
 oice Experiment study among i) a randomly selected sample of women who rece
 ntly delivered and attended post-natal consultations in 4 healthcare facili
 ties in The Gambia (n=592) and ii) an exhaustive sample of healthcare worke
 rs (HCW) involved in maternal and child health activities in these faciliti
 es (n=63). The attributes defined to describe the different modalities for 
 the diagnostic of the risk of MTCT for the three infections were: (1) diagn
 osis site (hospital or health center)\, (2) blood sample type (capillary or
  venous)\, (3) number of visits for diagnosis (1\, 2\, or 3)\, and (4) trea
 tment initiation (only if transmission risk is certain or without certainty
 ). We also collected individual preferences toward risk\, time\, and other 
 people to explore preferences heterogeneity.Results: Based on data from 592
  women and 63 HCWs\, preliminary results suggest that starting treatment if
  the risk of MTCT is certain is associated with disutility for both women a
 nd healthcare workers. The number of visits is non-significant for women bu
 t associated with disutility for HCWs\, who prefer all procedures (i.e.\, s
 creening and treatment) to be done in a single appointment. Sample type is 
 not considered as a key feature for HCW\, but women prefer capillary over v
 enous sampling. The diagnosis site does not affect women's preferences but 
 is associated with disutility for HCWs if the procedures are conducted at t
 he hospital.Discussion: Preliminary results indicate that both women and HC
 Ws are in favor of a "test and treat" approach to diagnose the risk of MTCT
  rather than a longer process requiring additional tests. Further analyses 
 will be exploring heterogeneity in women's preferences related to risk\, ti
 me\, and other people\, as well as in their socio-economic characteristics.
