<p>A total of 200 children and 200 mothers were recruited; 136(68%) of the mothers were married; 130(65%) had primary education; and 92(62%) lived within 2-4 kilometers from the health facility. Female children contributed 106 (53%). Mothers who were peasants/did mining work [Adjusted Odd Ratio (AOR)=2.60, 95%CI: 1.10–6.15] and those who had an HIV viral load ≥50 cp/ml [AOR=3.18, 95%CI: 1.27–7.97] were found significantly more likely to transmit HIV to their children. Similarly, mothers who had unknown serostatus [AOR=3.00, 95%CI: 1.28–7.06] and those who practiced mixed feeding [AOR=4.90, 95%CI: 1.39–7.39] were found significantly more likely to transmit HIV to their children.</p>
