pregnant women not having an HIV test. The
women also believed that that they would not get
HIV because they never practice high risk behaviors
(Butsashvili et al, 2014; Kwapong et al, 2014).
All participants in this study had negative HIV
test results. As a result, they did not to seek more
information about HIV. In addition, when the HIV
test results were negative, participants were not
given additional information about the importance of
future HIV testing. More information about HIV
testing in pregnant women and HIV transmission
provided by HCPs needs to be improved when
counseling for HIV test. In addition, it is important
to provide a private room that can guarantee the
privacy of pregnant women during counseling. This
will allow them to ask further questions about HIV
test without feeling uncomfortable and afraid that
other people will listen to their questions.
5 CONCLUSIONS
Pregnant women have HIV test at the CHC on their
first visit for ANC but they do not have any option
other than having HIV test based on the HCPs
recommendation. Providing more information about
test HIV and private room are needed to allow
pregnant women received adequate information about
test HIV and being able to ask more about the test
without feeling embarrassed and understand their
right to decide for having an HIV test. Furthermore,
health education in the community about HIV test
among pregnant women should be conducted as
pregnant women have had a better understanding
about HIV test before they have it at the CHC.
