dc.description.abstractPrevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) programs provide a range of services to women and children that can reduce the risk of vertical transmission of HIV. Hence, this study aimed to evaluating the effectiveness of interventions to prevent mother to child transmission of HIV in Adeoyo Maternity Centre, Yemetu, Ibadan, Oyo State. A facility based cross-sectional study was conducted, involving a sample size of 300 HIV positive pregnant mothers selected in which purposeful sampling was used for qualitative data to obtained reports through focus group discussion (FGD), and random sampling was used for quantitative data case to obtained survey reports of HIV positive pregnant women where participants are selected based on their experience of providing PMTCT of HIV. Data collection was performed using an adapted questionnaire, and the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Windows version 25 was used for data analysis. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.Majority (80%) of the participants engaged in PMTCT and 46.5% practice mixed feeding. The study revealed significant associations between the effectiveness of PMTCT and age (odd ratio [OR] = 1.23; 95% CI = 0.251-0.470, p = 0.02) and education (odd ratio [OR] = 1.23; 95% CI 0.111-0.456, p = 0.03), knowledge of PMTCT (OR = 2.23; 95% CI 0.223- 0.934, p = 0.00), previous antennal care age (odd ratio [OR] = 2.150; 95% CI 0.233-1.002, p = 0.02) counselling (OR = 1.43; 95% CI 0.123-1.120, p = 0.43), infant feeding choice at first PCR age (OR = 1.45; 95% CI 0.89-3.30, p = 0.04) and previous age at first PCR (odd ratio [OR] = 1.10; 95% CI 2.70-8.70, p = 3.56). Conclusion: Reduction of MTCT of HIV is possible with effective PMTCT interventions, including improved access to ARVs for PMTCT and appropriate infant feeding practices.
