- Adherence to antiretroviral treatment (ART) is of utmost importance to reduce the risk of vertical transmission of HIV. We enrolled 106 patients from two Prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) clinics in Dar es Salaam in September- November 2016. Study participants were given structured standardized questionnaires regarding their self-estimated adherence and barriers and enablers to adherence. Good adherence was defined as taking ≥95% of the pills as prescribed. About 70% of the participants achieved this level of adherence. The odds ratios for poor adherence among women with medium and poor family support were 5.69 (95% CI: 1.36-23-75) and 6.86 (95% CI: 1.89-24.96) respectively compared to good support. A large portion of the women failed to reach the high set limit for adherence. Increased spousal involvement and support could help many women to achieve good adherence.
