Summary 

The 2005 Malawi HIV and Syphilis Sero-Survey was designed to provide data for monitoring HIV and syphilis prevalence and trends in pregnant women attending antenatal clinics in Malawi as well as produce national estimates on HIV and syphilis impact. The survey tested 8,953 pregnant women attending antenatal clinic care (ANC) for the first time from 28 urban and 26 rural sites. Women attending ANC for a subsequent visit during the survey enrollment period were excluded.
