24小时（7天24小时）的艾滋病毒检测对于在地区卫生设施分娩的妇女保持较高的预防母婴传播覆盖率至关重要。当大多数孕妇接受艾滋病毒状况检测时，预防母婴传播的覆盖率就会增加。因此，应将常规提供艾滋病毒检测作为综合产前保健的一部分加以整合。对于错过产前护理和在保健机构分娩而未进行艾滋病毒感染检测的妇女，产房和产科病房仍可作为其他切入点。
Round the clock (24 hoursx7 days) HIV testing is vital to maintain a high prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT) coverage for women delivering in district health facilities. PMTCT coverage increases when most of the pregnant women will have their HIV status tested. Therefore routine offering of HIV testing should be integrated and seen as a part of comprehensive antenatal care. For women who miss antenatal care and deliver in a health facility without having had their HIV status tested, the labour and maternity ward could still serve as other entry points.
