dc.description.abstractConclusions: ART initiation is very important for HIV positive women both for their own health and for prevention HIV transmission to their children. This study found that ART initiation among eligible pregnant women in Swaziland was statistically associated with the presence of partner support and favourable perceptions of benefits of ART after multiple logistic regression analysis. Stronger counselling and education for pregnant women and male involvement strategies need to be implemented as momentum gathers towards elimination of paediatric HIV by 2015.
