The study was conducted among 946 women attending antenatal clinic in SMIMER teaching hospital during 2008 to know their awareness regarding various aspects of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV and it was found that though the general awareness of HIV is high, awareness of MTCT and its prevention is low which need to be improved through focused IEC campaign. Background : More than 90% of HIV infections in children aged <15 years are due to mother-to-child transmission (MTCT). The MTCT may reverse the gains of the child survival strategy in the country. Awareness of HIV and MTCT among antenatal women plays crucial role in preventing MTCT. Objective : To evaluate the awareness and knowledge of HIV/AIDS, MTCT of HIV and the methods to prevent MTCT of HIV. Methods : This is a descriptive cross sectional study carried out among antenatal women at the SMIMER Teaching Hospital during 2008. Results : Out of 946 women interviewed, 78% had heard of HIV/AIDS and main sources of information were television (48.8%) and radio (37.8%). Ninety-one percent of women were aware of MTCT of HIV. Trans-placental route (41%) was the commonly identified route of transmission. Awareness of HIV/AIDS, HIV co-existence with pregnancy and Mother to child transmission was significantly higher among women with at least secondary education (P<0.05). The level of knowledge and perceptions of MTCT of HIV is inadequate. Conclusion : There is an urgent need to scale up HIV awareness programme focusing on mother-to-child transmission in the region.

Globally, around 34 million people are living with HIV in 2010, and 35% of the pregnant women are tested for HIV in the low and middle income countries. HIV infection in pregnancy has become a complication of pregnancy in some developing countries. This has major implications for the management of pregnancy and birth. A cross sectional study was conducted from December 2018 – February 2019 in tertiary care hospital, VIMSAR Burla . The present study was conducted to assess the knowledge about HIV/AIDS and mother to child transmission issues among women seeking antenatal care and visiting ICTC. A sample of 150 pregnant females was used to accomplish the study. A pre- tested semi-structured questionnaire was used to gather information on the study variables. The questionnaire included variables related socio-demographics e.g., age, education status, occupation, residence, awareness about HIV/AIDS. The study reflected that 83.4% of the women had heard of the term HIV/AIDS which reflects a relatively high level of awareness about the term but subsequently dropping levels of awareness about the routes of transmission, laboratory diagnosis and the availability of drugs. Only 45.3% of the respondents were aware of ICTC. 42.7% were aware about mother to child transmission of HIV and only 32% were aware of anti-retro viral therapy for newborn.

Abstract Background; Despite the adoption of Elimination of mother to child transmission (EMTCT) strategy in 2012, mother to child transmission of HIV remains one of the significant forms of new HIV infections among children in Uganda, accounting for 20% of new infections. However, the implementation of the EMTCT strategy in Uganda remains unclear and an under researched field. This study aimed at assessing the extent of implementation of EMTCT strategy, barriers and constraints in Lira district using the adapted Policy Implementation Barometer (PIB) approach. Methods; This was a cross sectional study that employed both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. A Policy Implementation Barometer tool developed by a project called Supporting Policy Engagement for Evidence-based Decisions (SPEED) for Universal Health Coverage in Uganda was adopted to assess the extent of implementation of EMTCT strategy. A total of 32 interviews with health facility managers were purposively conducted from a random sample of 20 health facilities offering Antenatal clinic (ANC) services in Lira district. Quantitative data was analyzed using STATA 14. Qualitative data was analyzed using thematic content analysis approach. Results; Majority 17/32 (53.1%) of the respondents were health facility in charges, 14/32 (43.8%) were midwives and half 16/32 (50.0%) had been in service for more than five years. Half of the respondents perceived their facilities to have fully established programs for implementing EMTCT and only 2/32 (6.2%) perceived the EMTCT programs to be functioning optimally. The perceived level of EMTCT implementation was 80%. Almost all the respondents perceived the funding for EMTCT activities to be inadequate, untimely, and not sustainable. Only 4/32 (12.5%) of the respondents believed that the health workforce size was adequate to support EMTCT activities, 13/32 (40.6%) believed that health workers lacked the skills to provide EMTCT services.Conclusion/Recommendation; Overall, the perceived extent of EMTCT policy implementation was high, however slow progress was reported in some of the key policy objectives due to a number of hindrances including inadequate staff and funding. Therefore, there is a need for strategies to increase the number of health workers for EMTCT and solicit for more funding for the implementation of EMTCT strategy.

Background: Parent to child transmission is the second most common route of transmission of HIV in India contributing to 5% of new infections. This is due to underutilization of the components of PPTCT among  pregnant  women . As male partners remain the main decision makers in the family and influence their wife’s behaviour, poor awareness and negative attitude of men towards testing and treatment of HIV is a hindering factor in the successful implementation of the program. Therefore this study was carried out to study the awareness of men regarding HIV and PPTCT and also to assess their attitude towards testing and treatment in an antenatal clinic setting.Methods: This is a cross sectional descriptive institution based study conducted in Sri Manakula Vinayagar Medical College and Hospital, Puducherry, India. The study participants were men who accompanied their pregnant wife to the antenatal clinic. A pretested, predesigned questionnaire was used as the survey tool to assess the knowledge of these men about PPTCT services and also to assess their attitude towards HIV testing during pregnancy. The collected data was entered in SPSS and analyzed using descriptive statistics.Results: Among participants only 68% were aware that a HIV positive mother could transmit infection to her baby and more than half of the participants were not aware that breast feeding could cause vertical transmission. Nearly 39% of the participants were not aware that mother to child transmission can be curtailed by giving ART during pregnancy. Acceptance for HIV testing was fairly good even before pretest counseling to the extent of 88.6% of the participants. Among the participants who did not want to get tested for  HIV, 52.9% assumed that their HIV status will be the same as that of their wife whereas 29.4% said that they were not comfortable undergoing the test along with their wife.Conclusions: The present study shows that men lacked awareness about the concept of vertical transmission of HIV and also the various aspects of prevention of maternal to child transmission of the infection. Their attitude towards testing was positive even though they were not aware of its implications. Media should be used to create awareness and couple counseling and testing should be promoted in all PPTCT centers thereby increasing the male participation in the PPTCT program.

Prevention Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) merupakan program pemerintah untuk mencegah penularan virus HIV/AIDS dari ibu ke bayi yang dikandungnya. Pemanfaatan PMTCT akan berjalan dengan baik jika pemerintah dan tenaga kesehatan dapat mengetahui apa saja yang menjadi hambatan dalam motivasi ibu hamil dalam mengikuti PMTCT. Apabila PMTCT dapat berjalan dengan baik, maka penularan HIV/AIDS dapat ditekan/ dikurangi. Ironisnya jika ibu hamil penderita IMS merasa tidak butuh mengikuti PMTCT kemungkinan besar pemanfaatan PMTCT tidak berjalan baik, akibatnya penularan HIV/AIDS tidak dapat dicegah dan akan semakin bertambah. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui hubungan motivasi dan pengetahuan tentang PMTCT dengan kesediaan mengikuti PMTCT. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh ibu hamil yang mengalami IMS di Kabupaten Pati, sedangkan teknik pengambilan sampel pada penelitian ini menggunakan total sampling sedangkan sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah 32 ibu hamil di Kabupaten Pati. Jenis penelitian ini adalah survey dengan pendekatan cross sectional yang alat ukurnya berupa kuesioner yang berisi tentang pengetahuan, motivasi dan kesediaan mengikuti PMTCT yang akan dilakukan uji validitas dan reliabilitas serta disebarkan pada responden. Dilakukan analisa data dengan uji Chi Square untuk mengetahui hubungan anatara dua variabel. Variabel bebasnya adalah pengetahuan dan motivasi ibu hamil, sedangkan variabel terikatnya adalah kesediaan mengikuti PMTCT. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ada hubungan antara pengetahuan dan motivasi ibu hamil dengan perilaku melakukan layanan PMTCT, hal ini dapat dilihat dari nilai asymp.sig (2 side) pada uji pearson chi square adalah sebesar 0,000 < 0,05 sehingga Ha diterima dan Ho ditolak.
