NCT ID NCT07388979
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will check if a new device called MagIA H3S can accurately detect HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and syphilis in pregnant women in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. About 7,500 pregnant women will take part. The goal is to see if this quick test works as well as standard lab tests, which could help prevent passing these infections to babies.
