Abstract
Family is a significant and often indispensable component of the societal capacity to cope with social, economic and other stressors, such as the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Thus, family support is a critical component of the success of most HIV prevention programs, including PMTCT. This study sought to explore whether HIV+ mothers on the PMTCT program were receiving support from their families.-
