ABSTRACT
The World Health Organization report indicates that in 2013, about 35 million people worldwide lived with HIV and AIDS.HIV can be transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy, at childbirth and during breastfeeding. High rates of mother-to-child HIV transmission (MTCT) in developing countries continue to happen despite availability of efficacious interventions. Numerous studies have shown that socio-demographic, clinical and biological correlates and TAT are known to influence MTCT. Yet socio-demographic characteristics of the HIV positive mother-infant pair, the clinical and biological correlates, MTCT rates and the DBS-PCR turn-around-time (TAT) and the associated factors have not been ascertained in the local setting of Ministry of Health facilities in Kakamega, Bungoma, Vihiga and Busia counties, Kenya. The purpose of this study was to determine MTCT of HIV using single, dual and triple ARV prophylaxis regimens and their socio-demographic, clinical, biological correlates and to assess the DBS-PCR TAT and the underlying factors in the four counties. A retrospective cohort study using prospectively collected data in MOH HEI register from 24 health facilities was carried out. Between January 2012 and June 2013, 1751 HIV mother-baby pairs were enrolled in the 24 health facilities with missing data standing at an average of 18%.The study population comprised of HIV positive mother-baby pairs enrolled from January 2012 to June 2013. The outcome measures were infant HIV status at 6 weeks, 9 to
