Specific objectives:
1. Assess HBsAg prevalence among pregnant women in Soroti (overall and by site).
2. Assess risk factors for HBsAg positivity.
3. Assess knowledge, and perceptions related to HBV among pregnant women.
4. Evaluate linkage to care and treatment adherence among HBsAg-positive women initiated on TDF; identify barriers to engagement.
5. Characterize maternal HBV DNA dynamics on TDF: reduction in viral load from baseline to delivery.
