This book explores and describes the perceptions of the HIV positive pregnant mothers regarding the PMTCT Option B+ programme. The study was conducted in one of the public health units in the Manzini Region, Swaziland. All cases of HIV positive pregnant mothers enrolled on PMTCT Option B+ programme participated in this study. Number of participants sampled was 20 and only 17 participants were interviewed. The findings revealed that Option B+ programme prevents mother-to-child transmission of HIV. This is implemented through administering medication (antiretroviral drugs) to mothers during pregnancy. The PMTCT Option B+ programme boosts the mother's immune system, prevents opportunistic infections and prolongs life.
