About Dual Elimination
Dual elimination refers to the elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV and syphilis, sexually transmitted infections that cause substantial global health burden. The use of dual elimination tools, such as dual rapid tests for HIV and syphilis, can significantly reduce maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality in developing countries.
