Abstract

Abstract A high cure rate was observed after testing and treatment of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection among pregnant women in a nonrandomized cluster trial in Gaborone, Botswana. Between March 2021 and March 2022, 251 pregnant women were tested for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection in Botswana. Fifty-eight (23%) tested positive for at least 1 infection, and 57 (98%) were treated. No participants tested positive at test of cure. In some settings, cost of test of cure may outweigh the benefits.
