Correlates of HIV-positive fathers' involvement in prevention of mother-to-child transmission programs in northern Nigeria.

CONCLUSION: The involvement of fathers in HIV PMTCT programs was low and predicted by paternal education, HIVpositive child, duration of antiretroviral treatment, disclosure to partner, consistent condom use, and level of PMTCT knowledge. Our findings will inform the development of policies to increase male partner involvement in PMTCT in Nigeria.
