Materials and methods It is a retrospective study of antenatal mothers attending the integrated counseling and testing centre (ICTC), College of Medicine and JNM Hospital, Kalyani, from January 2009 to December 2013. Antenatal mothers were counseled and in those willing to undergo test rapid testing was done. First time positive cases were retested two more times by two different companies rapid test kit. The samples were considered as positive when found reactive by all three different methods. Results In our study, a total number of 11343 new antenatal mothers were registered. The pretest counseling could be done for 9437 antenatal mothers. After counseling, testing could be done in 9211 antenatal mothers.
