Knowledge and perceptions about Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection, mother-to-child transmission of HIV and HIV prevalence among antenatal attendees of a Ghanaian tertiary health institution: a cross sectional study

HIV knowledge among antenatal attendees at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital is generally high, with most participants demonstrating adequate knowledge. However, understanding of mother-to-child transmission is still limited in some areas and needs to be improved through enhanced antenatal health education. Strengthening health education during antenatal care-particularly on the modes, effects and prevention of mother-to-child transmission is crucial to realizing global HIV/AIDS elimination goals.
