Abstract:
Objective Mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) occurs when a woman with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) passes the virus to her unborn baby. Many health institutions have initiated programs on Preventions of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV (PMTCT), however the uptake of these services is still low. The purpose of the study was to determine factors that contribute to low uptake of PMTCT by women attending antenatal clinic in Pumwani Maternity Hospital, Kenya. Methods This was a hospital-based cross sectional study enrolling 161 antenatal (ANC) mothers aged between 18-49years. Data was col

Abstract:
Malawi faces challenges with retaining women in prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission (PMTCT) services. We evaluated Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere, Inc. (CARE’s) community score card (CSC) in 11 purposively selected health facilities, assessing the effect on: (1) retention in PMTCT services, (2) uptake of early infant diagnosis (EID), (3) collective efficacy among clients, and (4) self-efficacy among health care workers (HCWs) in delivering quality services. The CSC is a participatory community approach. In this study, HCWs and PMTCT clients identified issues impact

Kenya is one of 22 countries globally that account for 90% of all HIV-positive pregnant women. This study aimed to determine factors affecting uptake of prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) services among HIV-positive pregnant women at Lodwar County Referral Hospital in Turkana County, an arid area in northern Kenya. We conducted a retrospective review of HIV-positive pregnant women attending antenatal care (ANC) and accessing PMTCT services between January 2015 and December 2016. We used infant prophylaxis as a proxy measure of PMTCT uptake, and records across programs were link

Abstract:
Background Prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV service is conceptualized as a series of cascades that begins with all pregnant women and ends with the detection of a final HIV status in HIV-exposed infants (HEIs). A low rate of cascade completion by mothers’ results in an increased risk of HIV transmission to their infants. Therefore, this review aimed to understand the uptake and determinants of key PMTCT services cascades in East Africa.
