| dc.description.abstract | Abstract-
Introduction: Although Option-B plus has registered tremendous success in the Prevention of
Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) of HIV, the failure to follow the HIV testing algorithm for HIV
Exposed Infants (HEIs) after birth is likely to make achieving zero new HIV infections among children
unrealistic. Due to this, we sought to determine the factors affecting uptake of first Polymerase Chain
Reaction (PCR) test among HEIs to inform the selection of strategies to strengthen Early Infant Diagnosis
(EID), an indicator that tracks progress towards achieving zero new HIV infections in children | en_US |
