Abstract

The numbers of pregnant women performing HIV test in Blang Mangat Primary Health Care remain low at 25%. This situation is caused by several factors including lack of knowledge about HIV test, attitude towards HIV and lack of family support. A cross-sectional design with a total of 101 pregnant women with consecutive sampling technique was performed. The variable examined namely age, educational background, knowledge, attitude, husband's and health officer's support. Data were analyzed using the Chi- Square test and multiple logistic regression to identify the variable that has the greatest impact on the participation of the pregnant women for HIV test. We found that pregnant women were generally lacking of knowledge (57.4%) and with a positive attitude (60.4%). Women with support from the husband were found as many as 61 people (60.4%) and support from the health officer (58.4%). However, most pregnant women did not want to participate in HIV testing (51.5%). This study found that knowledge and husband's support are variable with the greatest impact on the participation of pregnant women for HIV testing.
